The Performing Rights Society

The Performing Rights Society (PRS) is an organization that collects and distributes royalties to songwriters, composers, and music publishers when their music is played publicly—such as on radio, in concerts, or in shops. By managing these rights, PRS ensures creators are fairly compensated for their work's use. This process helps support the ongoing creation of music, allowing artists to earn income from their compositions even if they are not the performers. Essentially, PRS acts as a bridge between music creators and those who use their music in public spaces.
