Ruby O'Kane

As a Copyright Analyst at AMRA, the Independent Global Digital Music Collection Society, I am responsible for the ingestion and management of both writer and publisher song catalogues. My role involves ensuring metadata accuracy and streamlining ingestion workflows to maximise the efficiency and value of royalty collection for our client creators. I work closely with internal teams to identify and resolve data discrepancies, contributing to the integrity of the global rights management ecosystem. Through this, I help improve the quality, scalability, and speed of catalogue onboarding, ultimately enhancing the transparency and effectiveness of royalty distribution for songwriters and music publishers worldwide.

During my six-week placement with music producer and sync composer James King, I gained invaluable commercial insight into the music sync industry, particularly focusing on PRS (Performing Right Society) and PPL (Phonographic Performance Limited) processes. This role provided a hands-on experience in navigating the intricacies of music licensing.
