HMA24 Welcomes PRS for Music as Category Sponsor
Heavy Group is excited to welcome back PRS for Music as a partner of the eighth annual Heavy Music Awards. This year will see the highly respected industry body take on category sponsorship for the first time, putting their name to the coveted Best UK Artist award
Tony Barton, Director of Writer Relations, PRS for Music, said: "The Heavy Music Awards amplify the power and passion of our rock and metal songwriter and music publisher members. We look forward to celebrating the dynamic spirit of this community at the ceremony in August. Best of luck to each nominee!"
HMAs co-founder Dave Bradley welcomed the return of PRS for Music, adding, “We constantly hear about artists and songwriters who have been made aware of what PRS for Music does, and subsequently unlocked significant rewards for the performance or broadcast of their own work. There is still a significant number of people who are leaving earnings unclaimed, so a key factor of this continuing partnership is to amplify what PRS for Music is doing, and connect them with more artists in rock and metal. We’re very proud to play our role in that process.”
PRS for Music pays royalties to its 165,000 members when their work is performed, broadcast, streamed, downloaded, reproduced, played in public or used in film and TV. The organisation then supports them by influencing policy, supporting and hosting awards and events, and investing in new technology to ensure they’re fit for the digital music age. To date, PRS for Music has paid a staggering £836m to its members, while raising over £2.6m for charity.
