Do I need to join a PRO like ASCAP or BMI?

Royalties & publishing

If your music is streamed, broadcast, or performed publicly anywhere, yes. A PRO (ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC in the US) is the only way songwriters collect performance royalties — and both you and your songs must be registered.

Joining is a one-time task with a permanent payoff: performance royalties flow from streaming, radio, TV, venues, and live covers of your songs. Register yourself as a writer, then register every song — an unregistered song earns nothing no matter how much it's played.

Musavise's royalty hub tracks your PRO registration status per song, so 'registered everywhere' becomes a checkbox you can actually verify instead of a vague hope.
