Session Artists, Meet RAR
One of our MAM Fam members recently tipped us off about an important digital royalty detail for those of you who are session artists.
Turns out that SoundExchange only doles out digital royalties for 'featured artists': whomever is the star or key band members on a recording. However, if you're a session artist (hired just for the studio recording, etc.), your digital royalties are dispersed by AFM/AFTRA's Recording Artist Royalties.
Have you ever recorded as a session player? Then please make sure you're registered with RAR so you can qualify for and receive payments from them for your hard work.
