PERFORMANCE ARTIST / SPOKEN WORD CLAIMS
Whilst Maori Music Publishing is primarily associated with the music community, a growing part of our
client base is made up spoken word / performance artists.
If your performance contains original musical content or is substantively rhythmic / melodic in delivery
(similar to "a cappella" song performances) then we can work with you.

BROADCAST CLAIMS
We can collect digital royalties from Radio / TV / Internet broadcasts of your material and we may also
be able to recover regular broadcast royalties from your material.
(The eligibility of your work for this type of claim is largely at the discretion of the broadcaster.)
These are recovered automatically for you.
LIVE CLAIMS
Most venues that hold spoken word / performance events will also put on "live" music events and are
licenced to do so.
This licence fee goes towards paying royalties to the songwriters / composers / authors of the material
performed at these venues, even at "open mic" nights etc.
You can also claim for if your material is used in a Theatrical / Drama production.
You could be due royalties from virtually every time you have performed your material, whether you
were paid to perform or not and whether it was a ticketed or free event, dating back a maximum of
TWO years (UK Events / Residencies have a ONE year deadline).
