AFM & SAG-AFTRA Fund Distributes Record $91 Million In Royalties

May 19, 2023/by Caela Griffin

The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (AFM) and SAG-AFTRA announced that the AFM & SAG-AFTRA Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund has recently distributed record amount of over $91 million in royalties to union and non-union session musicians and vocalists.

These royalties are paid for their performance on songs played on satellite radio, non-interactive streaming, other digital formats and international neighboring rights. As digital platforms continue to grow, the AFM & SAG-AFTRA Fund will play an increasingly important role in collecting and distributing royalties to these deserving performers.

This non-profit Fund has distributed over $650 million in royalties to tens of thousands of non-featured performers and their beneficiaries as a testament to their commitment to support musicians and vocalists across nearly every genre of music.
