AllTrack

AllTrack is a US-based performing rights organization founded in 2017 by Hayden Bower. It is the first new US PRO in over 85 years that welcomes all songwriters and publishers. Headquartered in Los Angeles with offices in Nashville and New York, AllTrack represents independent artists, songwriters, composers, producers, and publishers for the collection of performing rights royalties in more than 120 countries.

How AllTrack Works

AllTrack is uniquely built to serve independent music creators. Unlike ASCAP and BMI, which cater to all tiers of the industry, AllTrack focuses specifically on independent writers and the publishers that serve them. The organization collects performance royalties from businesses and events that use music publicly, including streaming services (Spotify, YouTube, TikTok), radio and TV stations, bars, restaurants, hotels, stadiums, and retail stores.

In November 2024, AllTrack launched a mechanical rights division, becoming the first US PRO to offer integrated performance and mechanical royalty collection through a single platform. This means songwriters can collect worldwide royalties from streaming, downloads, and physical formats without registering with multiple organizations like The MLC.

In 2025, AllTrack expanded into neighboring rights administration through the acquisition of Number13's assets (a firm founded by former SoundExchange executive Wade Metzler). This made AllTrack the only US-based PRO to directly administer and collect neighboring rights royalties for artists and labels, in addition to performance and mechanical royalties.

AllTrack joined CISAC in 2024 as a rights management entity, becoming the fourth US PRO to do so alongside ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. In September 2024, AllTrack launched APIs for integration with creator platforms, with Tidal becoming the first service to implement in-platform PRO registration and song-level metadata access.

Real-World Example

An independent songwriter in Nashville joins AllTrack in 2026. They register their catalog of 30 songs, listing themselves as both writer and publisher. Their songs generate performance royalties from Spotify streams in the US, radio play in the UK, and live performances at venues across Europe.

Through AllTrack's CISAC membership, the songwriter collects performance royalties from all 120+ countries where their music is performed. They also register for AllTrack's mechanical rights division to collect mechanical royalties from Spotify downloads and physical CD sales. Additionally, they use AllTrack's neighboring rights service to collect digital radio royalties from SoundExchange-type collections internationally.

Without AllTrack, this same songwriter would need to join a separate PRO for performance royalties, register with The MLC for mechanical royalties, and hire a neighboring rights administrator for digital radio royalties. AllTrack consolidates all three into a single membership.

Why It Matters for Independent Artists

AllTrack is designed specifically for independent creators. If you are an unsigned songwriter, self-published composer, or independent producer, AllTrack offers a single-platform solution for three royalty types that typically require three separate organizations.

However, AllTrack has faced scrutiny. In December 2025, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald sent a letter to the FTC questioning the transparency of newer PROs including AllTrack. AllTrack responded by meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, voluntarily enhancing disclosures on its website, and adding a repertory search link to its header navigation. The US Copyright Office opened and closed a Notice of Inquiry into PRO practices in 2025 without forcing any changes.

Territory Covered

AllTrack collects performance royalties in the United States and over 120 countries worldwide. The organization licenses businesses operating within US borders for domestic performance royalties. These include streaming services (Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Amazon, TikTok, Facebook), TV and radio stations, stadiums, arenas, concert venues, restaurants, bars, hotels, gyms, and retail stores.

For royalties generated outside the United States, AllTrack relies on its CISAC membership (joined in 2024) and reciprocal agreements with sister societies worldwide. AllTrack is the fourth US PRO to join CISAC, alongside ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. Through CISAC, AllTrack can collect performance royalties in over 120 countries where its members' music is performed.

AllTrack also collects mechanical royalties worldwide through its mechanical rights division (launched November 2024) and neighboring rights through its acquisition of Number13's assets in 2025.

Membership and Fees

AllTrack membership is free. There are no signup fees and no annual fees. The organization operates on a commission model.

Fee Structure

• Performance royalties: 15% commission on royalties collected
• Mechanical royalties: 15% commission on royalties collected
• Neighboring rights royalties: 15% commission on royalties collected

AllTrack does not get paid unless its members get paid. Members retain 100% ownership of their copyrights. There are no recurring fees.

How to Join

Creators can register for a free AllTrack account at alltrack.com. The registration process requires:

1. Create an account as a music creator or publisher
2. Register each composition with title, writer splits, and publisher information
3. Report live performances through the platform
4. AllTrack tracks usage and collects royalties from licensed sources

Membership is available to music creators globally, regardless of country of citizenship or residence.

Overhead Rate

AllTrack retains a 15% commission on all royalties collected. This applies to performance, mechanical, and neighboring rights royalties. The 15% rate is the organization's only source of revenue. There are no additional administrative fees or hidden charges.

For comparison, ASCAP charges a $50 one-time fee and retains operating costs from collected revenue. BMI offers free membership for writers but charges $150 for individual publishers. SESAC is invitation-only.

Royalty Distribution Schedule

AllTrack pays royalties to its members quarterly. The distribution schedule varies by royalty type and territory.

Performance Royalties (US)

Performance Royalties (International)

Mechanical Royalties

Neighboring Rights Royalties

Royalty statements are available to members within their AllTrack accounts at the time of payment. Live performances follow the same payout schedule as recorded performances.

Reciprocal Agreements

AllTrack joined CISAC in 2024 as a rights management entity. This membership provides access to CISAC's network of performing rights organizations in over 120 countries. When an AllTrack member's music is performed in another country, the local CISAC-affiliated society collects those royalties and forwards them to AllTrack.

AllTrack's CISAC membership makes it the fourth US PRO with international reciprocal coverage, alongside ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. The organization also maintains direct relationships with international mechanical rights organizations and neighboring rights societies through its mechanical and neighboring rights divisions.

In September 2024, AllTrack launched APIs for integration with creator platforms. Tidal became the first service to implement in-platform PRO registration and song-level metadata access through this API.

Notable Members

AllTrack does not publicly disclose its full membership roster. The organization states that it represents independent artists, songwriters, composers, producers, and publishers. Founder and CEO Hayden Bower is a former SESAC board member and managing director at Rizvi Traverse Management.

AllTrack has approximately 20 to 30 employees as of 2025, with offices in Beverly Hills, California and Nashville, Tennessee. The company was founded in 2017 and employs staff across the United States and Colombia.

In December 2025, AllTrack faced scrutiny when Rep. Scott Fitzgerald sent a letter to the FTC questioning the transparency of newer PROs. AllTrack responded by meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and voluntarily enhancing disclosures on its website.
