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 was built 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.

Music Licensing

We are first and foremost a royalty free licensing site, and we work hard to make sure quality music finds placement in quality projects

Copyright Protection

The IMLC runs regular checks across the web and broadcast platforms to ensure that our artists' rights are not being infringed upon

Marketing

We are active on social media, as well as appearing on podcasts, publishing guest blogs and continually promoting the idea of fair and transparent licensing

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

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.

What Artists Say About the IMLC

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.

Royalty Free Artist

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!

Independent Producer

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.
