the home of independent music licensing
Welcome Home
We’re always on the lookout for independent artists to join our music licensing revolution. If you’ve made it to this page, chances are you’ve applied to countless other sites to try and get your music into the ears of people who want to license it. We’ve been there too, because like you, we’re artists first and foremost. So check out the IMLC’s independent artist registration process and see what the collective can do for you.
What Does the IMLC Do For Our Artists?
The IMLC’s aim is to redefine the role of independent artists, musicians and producers in an industry badly in need of a radical reshaping. By working together, we can all be part of that process.
All IMLC artist services are provided with NO UPFRONT FEES. We centre and support you as the artist, the driving force behind music creation. Unless you are getting paid for your hard work and creativity, we shouldn’t be getting paid. Apply today to get started on your journey towards being properly rewarded for your work.
Collect Royalties
The IMLC can publish your tracks and use patented audio fingerprinting technology to proactively collect global publishing royalties
Copyright Protection
The IMLC's partnership with Frequency Digital helps us ensure that our artists' rights are not being infringed upon
Music Licensing
The IMLC started life as a royalty free licensing site, and we continue working hard to make sure quality music finds placement in quality projects
Music Sharing
Musicians need to be heard, whether it's through streaming, radio, media or elsewhere. The IMLC is committed to building fair sharing platforms
Community
With so many musicians all over the world, a sense of community wherever it can be found is essential to making positive change for indepedent musicians
Support
Above all else, the IMLC wants to support artists in making a sustainable career from music creation and licensing
Concerned about how your music is being used?
One of the IMLC’s main goals is to protect the copyright of our artists in the ever-changing music landscape of the day. Through our close partnership with Frequency Music, the IMLC utilises a Smart Digital Rights Management Tool to identify copyright misuse and protect our artist’s rights.
What Our Artists Say About the IMLC
The IMLC is an excellent place for any musician to have their music. It’s a great independent organisation founded by people who are really helpful and knowledgable about the world of music licensing. Through the IMLC I’ve had my music licensed for all sorts of projects including a video for Nike Japan.
The IMLC is the most artist-friendly platform that I am aware of. It is an artist-for-artist website that puts the interest of the artist at the core, and gives you a great opportunity to expose and sell your music without making yourself dependent on a middleman that takes a high percentage without making a real effort. I am very happy and proud to be part of the IMLC.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have been along for the ride since the very beginning of the IMLC. I’ve seen first-hand how professional Nick and Ketsa’s approach has been in creating a fair, diverse, unique and non-generic royalty free music library. With each month passing, they’re always seeking new challenges to improve and take the IMLC to the next level. Nothing’s impossible with these guys behind the wheel!
Need help to make the step into licensing?
Although we work primarily with IMLC registered artists, it is by no means required for us to offer our support. If you’re an independent artist and you need our help, we’d love to hear from you. We have a number of services ranging from website building to custom backing tracks. Check them out below.
