Founded in July 2020, The 100 Percenters is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to fiercely advocating for the rights of music creators. We focus on elevating songwriters—the most marginalized contributors to a song—who often grapple with unfair compensation, inequitable ownership splits, and power imbalances that hinder their ability to negotiate fair terms with record labels, artists, and even the producers they collaborate with.
We serve all creatives while focusing on empowering BIPOC and marginalized music creators through advocacy, grants, programs, and education. We aim to ensure fair compensation, equal opportunities, and sustainable careers. We are committed to championing systemic change by driving transparency, accountability, and equity within the music industry.
At The 100 Percenters, we are reshaping the music business to honor and protect the creators who power it.
In our This Is Our Why series, we're sitting down with members of the 100 Percenters community to hear how our advocacy has made a difference in their lives. From grant recipients to program participants, these powerful stories are a must-listen!
Insider Sessions is a monthly virtual event designed exclusively for 100 Percenters members. It gives songwriters, producers, and artists direct access to top industry leaders and professionals.
