Billboard-charting Songwriter & Recording
Artist OG Maco Signs with Pro Music Rights
Privately-Funded For-Profit Public Performing
Rights Organization Welcomes Artist to Growing Roster of Music
Stars
Naples, Florida -- May 23, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- via
Pro Music Rights -- Pro Music Rights, the groundbreaking performing
rights organization (PRO) that recently partnered with music
technology company VNUE, Inc. (OTC: VNUE) to require its
Soundstr MRT (Music Recognition Technology) for all of its
licensees, is proud to announce the signing of Billboard-charting
recording artist and songwriter OG Maco.
OG Maco is best known for his 2014 debut single entitled "U
Guessed It," a viral hit that peaked at num- ber 90 on the US
Billboard Hot 100 Charts. OG Maco has collaborated with dozens of
artists, including Migos, Diplo, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka
Flame, Offset, Fallout Boy, and many more.
"I'm overjoyed that OG Maco has chosen to bring his catalog to
the Pro Music Rights family,” Pro Music Rights Founder and CEO Jake
P. Noch said in a statement. "He is a standout star in our
sterling—and rapidly-expanding—roster of some of the world's
greatest musical catalogs."
Pro Music Rights is a privately-funded, for-profit performing
rights organization, only the fifth-ever or- ganization of its kind
formed in the United States. The organization was started by Jake
P. Noch - En- trepreneur, Music Industry Executive, and Musician -
in 2018. In that short amount of time, Pro Music Rights has already
secured a market share of 7.4% in the USA and represents thousands
of artist brands throughout the industry. Pro Music Rights
repertoire includes works that feature such notable acts as Snoop
Dog, A$AP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Pharrell, Young Jeezy, Julez Santana,
Lil' Yachty, the late Nipsey Hussle & Countless more. VNUE’s
Soundstr technology will track and audit music plays, so that the
cor- rect rights holders are compensated.
VNUE, Inc. CEO Zach Bair said, “With the addition of OG Maco to
Pro Music Rights’ roster, the industry should take note that
artists will no longer have to stand idle while their royalties are
tied up in an opaque, antiquated system, where no one, particularly
the songwriters and artists, really knows where that money goes or
if they are being paid their due. I am excited to work with Jake,
and for VNUE to provide the underlying technology in helping to
shape this new and innovative model, one which we believe will be
the future of general music licensing.”
"Over my years in the industry, I've seen and experienced all
the systematic issues caused by other Per- forming Rights
Organizations that drag the creative industry down as a whole,”
continued Noch. “They hinder the livelihoods of the entire creative
community. The Pro Music Rights model, which leverages VNUE’s
Soundstr Music Recognition Technology (soundstr.com) to create a true “pay-per-play” system,
aims to disrupt the old way of doing things and will create a
better world for musical artists & music publishers
everywhere."
OG Maco says, he “is so happy to finally be able to advance my
career with a company and a CEO I’d trust not only with my wallet
but with my life,” speaking about Pro Music Rights and Jake Noch.
He adds, “Pro Music Rights is the future of artists rights and the
perfect way to meld the interests of the artists and the acumen of
a Fortune 500 company.”
With the Pro Music Rights model, 100% of all public performance
royalties are paid directly to the per- formers, songwriters,
publishers, and legally-entitled rights holders—like OG Maco - who
get paid on a monthly basis - All without having administrative
fees deducted from their public performance royal- ties. The
extensive Pro Music Rights catalog represents over 2,200,000+
works.
