What AllTrack Performing Rights does

AllTrack Performing Rights is a US-based Performing Rights Organization founded in 2017 in Beverly Hills, California, operating as AllTrack Music Rights Inc. It is the first new US PRO established in over 85 years and the fourth CISAC-accredited PRO in the United States, joining ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC following its August 2024 CISAC acceptance. The company serves independent music creators (songwriters, composers, producers, publishers) and music-using businesses, offering integrated collection of performance, mechanical, and neighboring rights royalties from streaming services, radio/TV stations, and millions of public-performance venues worldwide. AllTrack operates a proprietary technology platform featuring automated metadata enrichment, IPI number assignment, real-time royalty tracking, and API-based integration tools that enable partner platforms (with TIDAL as flagship) to embed PRO membership and work registration directly in their own services.

The company's revenue model combines a 15% commission on collected mechanical and neighboring rights royalties, free creator membership with quarterly payouts, and fixed-fee annual blanket performance licenses sold to businesses (bars, restaurants, hotels, retailers, event organizers). Distribution occurs through a direct sales team for enterprise licensing, a large group of licensing and compliance representatives handling SMB accounts, trade association partnerships (AHLA, RRCA, NFHS, HTN, FARE, RunningUSA, WineAmerica), and API integrations with music platforms. Following the November 2024 launch of its Mechanical Rights Division and the June 2025 acquisition of Number13 (which established the Neighboring Rights Division), AllTrack has become a full-service three-rights organization. The leadership team draws heavily from incumbent PROs and music rights organizations, with executives and advisors previously at BMI, SESAC, ASCAP, SoundExchange, SOCAN, and CISAC.

Expansion highlights7 records

Direct peers

• BMI: Broadcast Music, Inc. is the other dominant US PRO, directly competing with AllTrack for songwriter/publisher affiliations and business blanket licenses. Several AllTrack senior hires (CRO Brian Mullaney, Rick Schrock) came from BMI, underscoring the direct competitive overlap.
• SoundExchange: SoundExchange is the principal US collection agent for neighboring rights (sound recording performance royalties) from satellite radio, streaming, and internet radio. AllTrack's June 2025 Number13 acquisition directly targets this market and Wade Metzler came from SoundExchange, indicating head-to-head competition for the same royalty pool.
• ASCAP: American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers is one of the two dominant US PROs and a direct competitor offering the same core public performance royalty collection services to songwriters and publishers that AllTrack provides. Both compete to affiliate the same writers and license the same music-using businesses.
• Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC): The MLC administers the blanket mechanical license for eligible streaming services in the US under the MMA. AllTrack's November 2024 launch of a mechanical rights division that works with the MLC puts it in direct competition/overlap for mechanical royalty collection and songwriter onboarding in the streaming era.
• SESAC: SESAC is the third CISAC-accredited US PRO and a direct competitor in performing rights licensing. AllTrack's founder Hayden Bower holds an ownership stake in SESAC while also running AllTrack, intensifying the competitive and governance overlap.
• Global Music Rights (GMR): GMR is the most recent PRO entrant before AllTrack, also positioning itself as a creator-friendly alternative to ASCAP/BMI. Both target high-value independent and catalog songwriters with a premium service model, making them the closest peer in terms of value proposition.

Emerging players

• Audiam: Audiam is a music rights administrator focused on mechanical and micro-sync royalty collection from streaming and user-generated platforms. It overlaps with AllTrack's mechanical rights and API-driven creator services targeting independent artists.
• Songtrust (Downtown Music): Songtrust is a self-serve music publishing administrator that collects publishing royalties globally for independent songwriters, similar to AllTrack's integrated rights platform. Both serve the same indie-creator segment with a technology-first onboarding model, though Songtrust focuses on publishing administration while AllTrack includes PRO membership.

Broad incumbents

• Harry Fox Agency: Harry Fox Agency is the largest US mechanical rights licensing and royalty administrator, historically serving publishers with physical/digital mechanical licenses. AllTrack's new mechanical rights division competes directly with HFA's independent songwriter and small-publisher services.
• Kobalt Music Group: Kobalt is a global music publisher and rights administrator offering technology-driven publishing administration and royalty collection for independent songwriters, similar in tech-forward philosophy to AllTrack but operating at much larger scale across publishing, neighboring, and sync rights globally.
