$683 million in royalties distributed last year.
24 directors. Zero independent directors . Zero songwriter voice on the AMCOS board.
And in December 2025, Australia’s competition regulator said APRA “lacks transparency in distributing royalties to its songwriter members.”

Who runs @apraamcos@sonymusicpubaus isn’t the only global player here.
@umpg_anz . IMPA. @icmp_music The world’s largest record label as parent company.
When decisions are local… but incentives are global — that changes everything.

The biggest structural issue on the @apraamcos board?
It starts with @sonymusicpubaus
One company. Both sides of the publishing vs recording equation. Three bodies. 25+ years.
When one person sits across all of that — it stops being representation and starts becoming influence.

Who runs @apraamcos … and what do they actually decide?
On paper, it looks simple —
6 writers. 6 publishers. Equal.
But structure isn’t the same as influence.
And the decisions this board makes — about unmatched royalties, AI licensing, and more — affect every writer member.

When I first heard this track that @lunabass wrote, I got instant road trip, driving, getaway vibes 🚗 so I wrote lyrics in that theme and voila a @staksounds song is born!
🎬 I feel like it would work a treat accompanying a road trip scene in a movie or tv show..! Sun setting, gorgeous landscapes (can’t decide if desert or forest 🤔), driving away from worries and stress - just you and the open road.
What do you think? What vibes does it give you? 🤗
🎶 Drive Into The Sun ☀️ is available for licensing now through @bmgpm & @so.effective 💃🏻
