Why Gramex?
We exist to help you focus on what truly matters: the music.
For the music – and the money
When your song plays on the radio or TV or in a streamed programme, café, bar, hair salon or taxi or as background music in a grocery store, we help you get your statutory remuneration. We have over 32,000 locations and businesses as paying customers!
We help you get compensated for the songs you have recorded by selling the required licences to the songs, billing for them and paying out the remunerations directly to your account – quickly and accurately. From Finland and abroad. So that you can focus on what truly matters: the music.
Income from abroad
The world around us becomes increasingly digitalised. And music continues to find increasingly sophisticated technical formats and new platforms that transcend national borders. This makes us work even harder for you. We collect remunerations for the use of your music from the countries on the map shown here and constantly negotiate new agreements with other countries. We are also at the forefront of developing international data transfer formats and technology. This means that we are able to collect international income for your music in an increasing fashion.

PME: It pays off to be a Gramex client
Gramex compensation is an integral part of the business of record company PME. For PME, copyright means not only revenue, but also recognition from music performers and producers. They encourage artists to take an interest in royalties and join Gramex.
We advocate for your interests
Besides licence sales and remuneration payments, we work for your music on other fronts. We actively influence legislation in Finland and Europe to ensure that your rights continue to be secured in the future. We also invest into the future by funding efforts related to promotion and export of music through, for instance, Finnish Music Foundation, Music Finland and the Copyright Information and Anti-Piracy Centre. As our client, you can apply for work grants and other support from the Finnish Music Foundation and Music Finland.
