Songwriters and composers across the UK, including NI, now have the chance to connect with one of the UK’s leading music creator organisations – completely free of charge.

The Ivors Academy, the independent professional association for music creators, has introduced a new Discovery membership tier aimed at empowering emerging and early-career songwriters and composers. Open to anyone aged 18 or over, no matter where you’re based, it offers an accessible way to tap into the Academy’s support, resources and creative network.

As a Discovery member, you can access the new Knowledge Toolkit V.1 to help you better understand the business of music, get involved in Academy campaigns to protect creators’ rights, receive a 10% discount when entering your music for an Ivor Novello Award and gain access to selected pay-as-you-go events and webinars. You’ll also have the chance to expand your network and stay informed about the latest news, opportunities and developments affecting music creators.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow your career, the Discovery tier is a meaningful way to connect with a wider community and strengthen your journey as a songwriter or composer.
