APRA AMCOS Ask Songwriters To Submit Performance Report For Payday

Songwriters are advised to get their Performance Report into APRA AMCOS by July 31 to receive payment for their work.

APRA AMCOS distributed $4.5 million in royalties to artists who lodged reports last year.

As an example, Ruby Boots live off her payment. “Four or five years ago I was in a bind scrounging around to pull enough money together for a national tour on the back of my second EP,” said Rebecca, who was nominated for Country Work of the Year at this year’s APRA Awards, and recently relocated to Nashville.

“Being from Western Australia, the expense of getting a band over to the east coast hikes up the cost of touring in flights alone. That royalty cheque was literally the difference between me having sleepless nights about how I was going to make it happen and helping the tour become a reality.”

She added, “Being paid for my work as an artist is a huge nod. It’s rewarding having an income stream that comes directly from your work.”

APRA AMCOS will hold workshops across Australia to show how to make a report.
