Join CMRRA

We are Canada’s leading reproduction rights agency working with music publishers and self-published songwriters to collect reproduction royalties in Canada.

Need a License?

Apply for a licence here if you covered a song and want to release it or if you use music in radio broadcasting, within apps, digitally or for background music services.

Unclaimed Works Portal

We built this portal to give music publishers and songwriters the ability to search the repertoire of online music services in Canada and identify unmatched recordings or unverified shares they can claim.

International Collections

We’re working with global partners, the Mechanical Licensing Collective (the MLC) and IMPEL, to provide an option to facilitate international licensing and royalty collection.

Who we are

We represent music publishers and self-published songwriters

We work diligently on behalf of our clients to negotiate licensing agreements, collect mechanical (reproduction) royalties from our licensees including digital music platforms, radio stations, major and independent record labels, and others, and to distribute those royalties.
