SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers)

SESAC, or the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers, is a performance rights organization that helps musicians, songwriters, and composers manage the rights to their creative works. It collects royalties on their behalf when their music is played in public spaces, such as radio, television, and live venues. SESAC ensures that creators are compensated fairly for the use of their music, supporting artists in maintaining their livelihoods. While it originated in Europe, SESAC is also active in the United States and plays a vital role in protecting the rights of artists worldwide.
