What Is Sentric Music?
Here at Sentric Music we open up income streams for artists who otherwise would be unable to do so, specialising mainly in unsigned or independent artists.
The PRS and MCPS report that millions of £’s of royalties go unclaimed every year. For every gig that is played, for every record that is broadcast on the radio, wherever music is played in the public domain, PRS money is generated and the only way to unlock it if you are an artist is to either join the PRS themselves (which costs £100 per member – quite pricey for your average unsigned artist) or to be published (publishing deals are both hard to come by, and when they do arrive they often take equity and copyright in your material for an extended period of time). Here at Sentric Music we offer a way to collect these income streams without paying up front or giving away any of your copyright. Rather than charging you upfront, we take a percentage of your earnings to cover our costs of PRS membership.
As well as royalty collection we also offer digital distribution to major online stores, opening up another income stream to artists through the sale of their music.

Sentric Music Case Study Number 1 - The Aeroplanes
We’re doing a few case studies of Sentric Music artists to show you fine unsigned bands of the UK why you should logging on to www.sentricmusic.com and signing up for our service. First up, Liverpool’s very own ‘The Aeroplanes’:
The Aeroplanes were already a well established band on the Liverpool scene when they joined up to Sentric Music’s service. Dave Pichilingi, head of The Aeroplanes record label (Robot! Records) was introduced to the idea by a friend of his who helped create the company; “Chris approached me with this idea of collecting PRS royalties without any of the hassle and sign up fee, it sounded like a great idea and I was surprised no one had thought of it before so I consulted with the band and we went for itâ€. Thanks to Sentric Music’s help The Aeroplanes have now received thousands of pounds in royalties in under a year. “We’re very pleased to say the least. We gave Sentric a few details about the gigs we’ve played and the songs we’ve wrote and they’ve managed to get this cash for us without us sacrificing any of our copyright. This service should be seen as essential to all unsigned artists within the UKâ€
Sentric Music Case Study Number 2 - Ricky Graham
Ricky Graham was receiving regular airplay on various stations in his home town of Derry and being quite savvy towards the music industry he knew he was owed something. “I was aware of PRS and royalties due to musicians for radio airplay and performing live, but it was all very new to me at the time, so I looked to Sentric Music to help me on my way â€. Ricky was told about Sentric Music by a friend of his who knew one of the managers in Liverpool and after a couple of emails decided to take the plunge and join the service. "Sentric have been more than great in bringing me up to speed with the Music business, providing me with distribution on iTunes, and have kept me well informed of royalty payments that I am owed and collected them for me. Sentric also offer a series of great opportunities to get your music heard around the world. They are providing an excellent service for the independent Musician."
Sentric Music Case Study Number 3 - The Balor Knights
The Balor Knights played several gigs per month in their native home town of Sheffield over a couple of years and racked up the odd radio airplay on local and national radio. Howard, The Balor’s front man, heard about Sentric music when one of their staff got in touch with him via myspace “I’m not going to lie, at first I was dubious because of all the scams you get on myspace but after a couple of emails they seemed genuine so we signed upâ€, after Sentric Music did their magic a few months later they had unlocked £1,140.83p for them. Howard and the Knights were chuffed: “You can tell anyone you like that I almost fell off the chair when the first statement came through!â€
