How To Register With SAMPRA

Is Sampra free?

There is no joining fee.

Applicants may apply for membership if they hold the public performance in South Africa for repertoire.

Does Sampra pay royalties?

SAMPRA pays out Needletime royalties to artists and record labels whereas SAMRO distributes Performance royalties. These two organisations are not in competition with each other and artists are encouraged to register at all collective management organisations (CMO’s) to maximise their royalty streams

Do artists get paid every time their song is played on the radio?

As we’ve mentioned earlier, in most markets, both songwriters and recording artists are typically paid royalties any time their music is played on the radio

So the first thing you want to do is apply as a performer already and perform a member apply as a recording company. So if you’ve registered with sampra. Before.
