Songtradr recommends that all writers affiliate with a P.R.O. so that they can collect performance royalties. This will allow you to provide us with your IPI/CAE number (international identification number for you as a writer, issued to you by your P.R.O. upon sign-up) so that we can associate this number with your works.

Please note: you do not need to have a publisher or a P.R.O. to be a Songtradr user.

You will need to provide:

  • Your full legal name as was provided to your affiliated performing rights organization.

  • Your performing rights organization affiliation

  • Your percentage of ownership in the copyright (writer's share)

  • Your co-writers and their performing rights organization affiliations

  • Your co-writers percentage of ownership in the copyright (writer's share)

  • Any publishing details including publisher, publishing entity name, affiliation and percentage of ownership in the copyright (publisher's share)
