IMARA (International Musical Artists Rights Alliance) is an international organisation founded in 2025 by leading Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) which license and manage the rights of music performers globally, to ensure that Music Performers receive fair remuneration from streaming, AI and audiovisual exploitation of their performances.

We see directly the inequity in the royalty payments to the music artists and session musicians, who make the music we love to listen to. Their performances are used in Streaming, AI, Audiovisual content and other primary and secondary uses with little or no remuneration.
 
IMARA works with WIPO, governments and creative industry partners to strengthen the protection and promotion of performers’ rights.

We are the global voice for music performers, providing expert advice, supporting collective management, and advocating for fair pay from Streaming, AI and Audiovisual uses.

IMARA’s members include 21 CMOs from across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific:
ACTRA (Canada), AIE (Spain), ADAMI (France), APOLLON (Greece), APPA (Vietnam), ARTISTI (Canada), CPRA (Japan), EEL (Estonia), EJI (Hungary), ERATO (Cyprus), FKMP (Korea), GDA (Portugal), HUZIP (Croatia), NUOVO IMAIE (Italy), PI (Serbia), PLAYRIGHT (Belgium), RAAP (Ireland), RPM (Malaysia), SAMI (Sweden), SAWP (Poland) and SPEDIDAM (France).

Together, we manage the rights of 500,000+ performers.

We are committed to defending, expanding and strengthening the rights of music performers worldwide.
