What happens before the breakthrough?

The writing sessions. The creative risks. The connections, collaborations and spaces that give artists room to develop.

We spoke to creative producer, artist manager and festival booker @mobo_aji about building creative communities, genuine artist development and creating opportunities that connect artists, writers and producers across scenes, cities and countries.

From @up2stndrd to @pitchscotland, Mobo shares why the future of music isn’t just about where the industry is now, it’s about where culture is moving next.

💰 You could be earning royalties you didn't even know existed.

Most artists keep track of streaming and publishing royalties, but Neighbouring Rights are often overlooked, even though they can be a valuable source of additional income.

So, what are Neighbouring Rights?

They're royalties generated when your recorded music is played publicly, whether that's on radio, TV, in clubs, bars, shops, gyms, restaurants, or through certain digital radio services. Here's the difference:

• Publishing royalties pay the people who wrote the song.
• Neighbouring Rights pay the performers on the recording and the owner of the master recording.

If your track is played on UK radio:
• Songwriter receives publishing royalties.
• Recording generates neighbouring rights royalties, shared between the performer(s) and the master owner.

If you're not sure where to start, we're here to help. Get in touch and we'll help you register your recordings and claim the royalties due to you. by @rightsbridge
