Sony Music\u2019s industry-leading Artists Forward<\/a> and Songwriters Forward<\/a> initiatives prioritise support for our music creators in all aspects of their development, including our Legacy Unrecouped Balance Programme, artist portal and wellness programme.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on this, Sony Music UK has now committed to implementing the \u2018New Deal\u2019 principles agreed by our UK trade body BPI as part of an industry-led forum convened by Government to support legacy artists, songwriters and session musicians.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new framework includes enhanced education sessions and digital optimisation advice for long-standing artists who have not renegotiated recently, and the launch of a Sony Music Songwriters Support partnership with the Ivors Academy, which will provide financial support for new and emerging songwriters. More detail on the Sony Music\/Ivors partnership will be available in the autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package also includes a significant boost to rates for session musicians and a renewed commitment for labels to respond to contractual enquiries in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further information about the BPI principles can be found here<\/a> and on the UK Government website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a legacy artist signed to Sony Music UK and believe some of these measures may be applicable to you, please email\u00a0UKlegacyqueries@sonymusic.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any other enquiries, please refer to our Contact<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
