In the 1980s, a group of managers in the UK started to establish a claim on a hidden complex income stream that was controlled by the major labels, with the view to gaining a share of that income for clients they manage. They won! Our chairman, Paul Kennedy, was one of those managers. Paul has gone on to advise clients, record companies, established producers and performers worldwide about, at times, this misunderstood income stream for recording artists, musicians, producers, performers, and master owners. Indeed anyone can claim a Neighbouring Right that has made an audible contribution to a sound recording alongside the master owner.

Put simply, if you sing or play any instrument or add any auditable performance to a sound recording or you own master recordings, you can gain Neighbouring Rights income worldwide.

With our partners Lime Blue, the world's most advanced Neighbouring Rights Agency on the planet with more global connections with NRO's than any other company. Using advanced IT systems, we hunt out all versions released worldwide, ensuring all and each of your performances on all recordings are claimed and collected in each market under each country’s unique set of rules to maximise your income.

This area of rights management is widely misunderstood, is highly complex, with many different countries having completely different rules that must be applied locally to gain the maximum income in that territory. We provide a totally bespoke Neighbouring Rights Management service to an exclusive clientele of hit makers, including some of the biggest producers and performers in the world.
