Kent Music

Kent Music was an Australian organization responsible for managing and distributing music rights and royalties, primarily for music creators and publishers. It ensured that artists, songwriters, and publishers received proper payments whenever their music was played publicly or used commercially. Originally established in the 1970s, it later evolved into what is now known as APRA AMCOS, which continues to serve the Australian and New Zealand music communities by supporting rights management and promoting musical creativity. Essentially, Kent Music played a key role in ensuring fair remuneration for musical works, facilitating a sustainable environment for the music industry.
