You should make an agreement if you want to receive remunerations for your performance work to your company or if your registered company is the producer of the phonogram. And your company does not have a Finnish business ID.

Who can join?
You can join Gramex as a client if you are a private individual, company or other organisation that performs on a phonogram as an artist or has commercially produced a phonogram. A producer may become a client after they have funded the recording of a phonogram. Here, ‘producer’ does not refer to a creative producer.
To become a client, you make a client agreement. The easiest way is to do it online. There is a link for private individuals and another one for businesses. Electronic agreements require strong identification with bank IDs, for instance.
Under 18-year-olds need a paper agreement because it has to be signed by a legal guardian.

The Finnish Music Publishers Association honours songwriters and musical works

Autumn 2026 distribution completed
In its autumn distribution on 29 September 2026, Gramex paid out 7.2 million euros. Royalties were paid to over 10,000 domestic music performers and producers represented by Gramex.
What can I be remunerated for?
Gramex sells licences on your behalf and collects remunerations for phonograms and music videos that are used, for instance:
- on FM and internet radio
- in TV and streaming programmes
- in AV presentations
- at public events
- in public facilities available to customers and personnel, such as hair salons, grocery stores, restaurants, taxis, schools and health services.
Remunerations are paid out four times a year. You can track your remunerations in the MyGramex portal.
What does Gramex not collect remunerations for?
Gramex manages the so called related rights on your behalf from a financial point of view. The authorisation is limited. In other words, no rights are transferred to Gramex. They remain under your ownership, making you the ‘rightsholder.’ For some rights, our rightsholders wish to keep the licence sales to themselves. That is why we do not collect and pay out remunerations for, e.g.
- social media
- advertisements
- movie theatre screenings
- YouTube or Spotify.
For these outlets, rightsholders agree on the use of music and remunerations independent of Gramex. Most often, the licences are available from producers, i.e. record companies.
