BMI cancelling process

[LittleSongFirst]

I am a member of BMI.
Since March 31, 2020.
I say the date, because I would be interested to know when I can change PRO and how far in advance I have to communicate my interest in changing.

Hi LittleSongFirst

 

A good question. This page should help answer your question:

 

https://www.bmi.com/creators/agreement

 

It isn’t easy for me to answer because it depends on what you have registered with them. If you have songs registered with them I think it might me between 3 months and 6 months… ie they need 3 months minimum, but you should not cancel if your termination date is more than 6 months away. It is also affected by your current contract length. If you have no songs currently registered I think you can immediately leave.

 

My PRO is PRS but I know 2 members of staff are @Peggy and @Mahesh are BMI registered. Hopefully they can confirm this. I hope this helps.

 

Cheers

That's in your agreement, and yes they are hard-core about it. If you are within the window, you have to send the request via registered mail.

Thank you very much both.

I am from BMI from 2020 March 31st.

I took a look to the contract and it seems I can´t do anything till 2024.

And, as you said, the window is open between 6 and 3 months before, that is, 2023 September 30, to, 2023 December 31st.

On the other hand, I open another post about being in two PRO´s

Help is welcome.
