Navigating the American healthcare system can be challenging.

Sony Music artists have dedicated healthcare advocates in their corner so they don’t have to go at it alone.

As part of our Artist Assistance Program, on-roster and legacy SME artists in the U.S. can access free, personalized healthcare advocacy services for confidential support in obtaining and utilizing healthcare coverage, locating a doctor, managing healthcare bills, and more.

Long-term artists want more financial opportunities.

Through our Legacy Unrecouped Balance Program, we’ve paid through millions of dollars globally to thousands of artists signed prior to 2000. We’re just getting started.

Now we’re expanding the eligibility criteria of the program to a rolling group of similar creators and participants who have been with Sony Music for over 20 years, creating more financial opportunity for greater numbers of our long-standing artists.
