Get paid for your music
Join Koda and let us claim your royalties
Are you a music creator or a music publisher? As a member of Koda, you are entitled to a payment whenever your music is publicly used.
Koda's role is to manage your rights, which means collecting money for the public use of your music. The Copyright Act protects your works - your music and lyrics. Join Koda if you wish to receive royalty payment for others using your music in public.
How is the money generated?
Koda's royalty payments are based on the revenue we receive from music licenses we issue to everyone who uses and provides music as part of their business. This includes everything from TV, radio, and streaming services to cafes, shops, gyms, and festivals.
