Behind every song is someone worth standing up for.
We create initiatives, education and partnerships that help creators and everyone across the music industry understand music rights — so the people behind the music are properly recognised and rewarded.
Mission
To create a fair, transparent and sustainable music industry — for everyone in it.
From the songwriter in the studio to the publisher, label and collecting society, we believe shared knowledge of rights makes the whole industry work better.
Story
Music shaped our mission
The Music Rights Awareness Foundation was founded by Björn Ulvaeus, Max Martin and Niclas Molinder, bringing together decades of experience as creators and from across the global music industry.
Today we lead industry-wide initiatives and education — giving creators and professionals alike the knowledge they need to understand rights and navigate the industry they are part of.
