SoundExchange has expanded its global network by adding 17 new agreements with collective management organizations (CMOs) around the world.
These partnerships, reached in late 2025 and early 2026, include territories in Africa, Central America, Europe, and the Caribbean, increasing the organization’s global reach and neighboring rights market coverage to over 91%.
Key new agreements include partnerships with the Copyright Society of Composers Authors & Publishers, Inc. (COSCAP) in Barbados, the Kenya Association of Music Producers (KAMP), and the Sociedad de Gestión de Productores Fonográficos del Paraguay (SGP).
In 2026, SoundExchange further strengthened its position by finalizing agreements with KAMP and Gramo in Norway, which covers performers’ rights.
With over 90 CMOs now in its portfolio, SoundExchange continues to lead the world in neighboring rights, representing nearly 500,000 artists and rights owners.
The non-profit organization is known for providing efficient and transparent services, helping creators get fairly compensated for their work across multiple international markets.
Its ability to collect royalties from streaming, radio, public performance, and other uses helps ensure that performers and rights owners are properly compensated for music played worldwide.
Registered performers and rights owners can now access all available global royalties or select specific countries through the secure self-service SX Direct portal. For more details on how to get started, visit soundexchange.com/international-partners/.
