Platinum Pro - $96
Our PLATINUM PRO membership is designed for the experienced songwriter who is looking to grow their catalog of published/licensed songs. This membership offers access to our music licensing site. Our site is marketed to music supervisors who work with the SGA as well as to the general public seeking music for their projects.
Membership requires an application.
Submission of two songs opens your application. These will be reviewed and, if the songs are found pitch worthy, you'll be added as a member. From there, you'll upload your songs to our music licensing website. During launch, membership is free. Post-launch annual membership is $96.
Diamond - $225
Diamond Membership is our top-tier membership, designed for working professional songwriters (and their heirs) who have a catalog of published songs that require administration and royalty collection
Diamond members receive:
Pro Services
- Copyright termination and recapture
- Song licensing
- Royalty collection
- Contracts & record keeping
- Earnings and other reports
Other Services:
- An SGA membership t-shirt
- A free entry to the SGA Awards competition
- Access to our SGATracks.com site -- where music supervisors and others seeking music for their projects can buy pre-licensed use of your songs (for projects that require more than a "pre-licensed" deal, we help members navigate more complex deals).
PLEASE NOTE: In order to apply, you will need to upload and identify three published songs as proof of your songwriting catalog.
