November is Music Fairness Awareness Month, an annual effort throughout the month of November to bring attention to a decades-long injustice that denies musicians and singers fair pay for their work on AM/FM radio in the United States.
The American Music Fairness Act (AMFA) — bipartisan, bicameral legislation that would ensure music artists receive compensation for the use of their work — was re-introduced in 2023 by Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Senators Alex Padilla (D-CA) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in the Senate. The AFM worked closely with the MusicFIRST Coalition and members of Congress to help craft this bill designed with your concerns in mind as a musician.
This Music Fairness Awareness Month, join us in voicing your support for FairPay for AM/FM radio plays by adding your name to the action list at: www.musicfairnessaction.org
Music artists deserve to be paid for use of their work, wherever it’s played. It’s time to end the loophole that has allowed Big Radio to rob artists of their fair share for far too long.
In Unity,
Tino Gagliardi
AFM International President
