MROC is currently completing its final payments to performers. As of January 1, 2025, all MROC performer mandates will either be transferred to ARTISTI or terminated if the performer has chosen another collective for representation. MROC will continue to remain open for some months with minimal staff in order to complete disposing of its assets.

If you’re a performer represented by MROC, please visit the FAQ and your portal account (set one up if you don’t yet have one) in order to find more information about the transfer of mandates, repertoire, and royalties.

Since MROC will no longer distribute to individual performers after December 31, 2024, unpaid royalties will, for the most part, be transferred to a performer’s new collective for onward distribution; in some special cases, foreign royalties may need to be returned to the originating foreign collective but we expect these cases to be rare. This includes payments made in December that were cancelled because of incorrect banking or addresses; MROC cannot reissue any payments after December 31 but will need to send them on to a performer’s new collective for later distribution.  In the case of unlocatable performers, we will be able to provide information soon about where those royalties will be maintained for performers to come forward to claim them.

Most importantly, thank you to all the wonderful musicians who have worked with MROC over the years and to our amazing team of employees to whom we must, sadly, say goodbye very soon.

Questions can be sent to info@musiciansrights.ca. MROC will be closed on December 23rd , reopening January 6th. After that, MROC will have only one full-time and one part-time employee so it may take us a little time to respond to your question. Rest assured that we will respond as soon as we are able.
