Dimapur, January 29 (MExN): The Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS) is set to be part of the Asia Music Summit, scheduled from the February 1 to 3 in Kohima.
An official update received here stated that as part of the Asia Music Summit, IPRS will be hosting workshop aimed at demystifying music copyright, explaining the role of IPRS, managing rights as a creator, and their right to royalties. IPRS will guide participants through the benefits of being represented as a community, ensuring due credits through data registration, and providing valuable insights that will help boost their musical journey.
In addition to the workshop, IPRS is organising an exclusive enrolment boot camp during the summit. “Independent artists, songwriters, and composers can seize this opportunity for on-the-spot registration, availing themselves of a one-time free membership offer. This initiative is designed to empower creators by facilitating seamless access to the benefits of IPRS membership,” the release stated.
Creators attending the Asia Music Summit have been encouraged to participate in the workshop and enrolment boot camp, gaining valuable insights and establishing direct connections with the IPRS team. IPRS also invites all independent artists, bands, songwriters, and composers to be part of this enriching experience.
Rakesh Nigam, CEO, IPRS said, “As we participate in the Asia Music Summit, our focus is on empowering creators hailing from the vibrant musical landscapes of the Northeast.” He added, “Through strategic collaborations and extensive outreach, our goal is to reach every artist, transcending geographical boundaries, and making sure they are well-versed about the opportunities and protections that await them in the rapidly evolving music industry.”
Meanwhile, commenting on this, Imnamaong Imchen of Trans Effect from Dimapur said, “As an independent artist and member of IPRS, I am aware of how critical it is to understand and protect our rights as a creator in the dynamic music business.” Imchen said, “I joined IPRS last year, and I was really happy to receive my first royalties from the society. Being a member of IPRS means more than just financial returns; it's about joining a global community of music creators, where IPRS acts as a strong ally, advocating for my cause and safeguarding my rights. Glad to be part of this journey.”
