Sound Royalties says that it wants to help artists affected by PledgeMusic’s recent financial troubles.


The music finance firm is committing US$3 million to help fund the projects of PledgeMusic artists with 4% per annum royalty advances. The

Last month PledgeMusic accepted responsibility for late payments to “many artists” over the past year and then stated it is in discussions with “several interested parties” over a potential acquisition or partnership.

Earlier this month it advised artists via an email to “suspend” their campaigns.

Sound Royalties’ stated goal is to help artists advance their careers while retaining ownership of their creative works by advancing performance royalties paid through labels, Sound Exchange, as well as songwriter royalties paid through music publishers and PROs, and music streaming royalties.

After news of James Van Der Beek’s death at age 48, Kesha is looking back fondly on her time with the Dawson’s Creek actor, when the pair co-starred in her “Blow” music video.

On Wednesday (Feb. 11), Kesha took to her Instagram Stories to share two photos with the actor — one in which Van Der Beek is pointing at the pop star and one of the pair embracing — and simply adding red heart emojis over each pic. The photos were taken on a Las Vegas red carpet in May 2011, three months after the debut of their “Blow” music video.
