Echoing Rights: ISAMRA's Melody of Change

The Indian Singers’ and Musicians’ Rights Association (ISAMRA) is leading a transformative initiative to ensure Indian music creators receive proper recognition and remuneration. Through structural reforms, international collaborations, and efficient royalty distribution, ISAMRA advocates for artists’ rights, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the soul behind the music.

The Indian Singers' and Musicians' Rights Association (ISAMRA) is spearheading a transformative movement to ensure Indian music creators receive long-due recognition and remuneration for their contributions. By implementing structural reforms and global collaborations, the association is redefining how the country honors its music creators.

Through an ERP-backed system, ISAMRA has streamlined the royalty distribution process, ensuring timely payments to artists. The association's international efforts include a performers' rights agreement with Nepal and a royalty-sharing pact with PPL UK, which have benefited over 1100 Indian performers by channeling global royalties back to their creators.

World Music Day has become a significant occasion for underrepresented music contributors, such as session musicians and background vocalists, who now receive royalties. ISAMRA's recent initiatives further empower these artists, as they see their rights secured and contributions recognized in the global music landscape.
