Do you have any questions about the South African music industry?

I recently did a video where I breakdown how music royalties end up in the artist's pocket. It obviously doesn't account for corruption, but it's a simple breakdown that should help you understand the system better. youtu.be/p7-AzsBhQS8?si…

Cue sheets aren't something musicians have access to. I may be dreaming here, but a digital reporting system that's automated would be an absolute dream.

Ever wondered what the difference is between ISRC and ISWC codes?

If you want to learn about SAMRO, I've made a playlist of videos that will teach you everything you need to know about the organization and how to join them. youtube.com/playlist?list=…
