Dear BW Artist 🎤🇧🇼
Start taking documentation seriously! 📸✍️ Keep a record of everything you do
— your performances, gig posters with full details, videos, photos, and even flyers.
💡 Here’s why: Some of those unpaid gigs you did can STILL pay you — yes, even years later — if you have proof like pictures, videos, or posters with your name on them.
Why? Because COSBOTS (Copyright Society of Botswana) has an option where you can notify them of your past performances at any venue. If you provide proof, they can pay you Performance Royalties.
🎵 What are Performance Royalties? These are payments made to you as the artist when your music or live performance is played in public — at concerts, events, clubs, radio, TV, or even community gatherings. The venue or event organizer pays COSBOTS licensing fees, and COSBOTS distributes that money to you, the rightful owner of the performance.
✅ Your action steps:
-Register your music and performances with COSBOTS.
-Make it a top priority — this is your business, your bread and butter.
Treat every show like an investment, whether paid or unpaid.
📌 Be smart. Protect your art. Get what’s yours!
