A note on the sound
These are pop songs with energy, not quiet background music. They fit best where the room is already moving.
Playing music in a venue
Background music in a hotel, restaurant, cafe, bar, salon, club, casino or store is a public performance. Venues usually cover it with licenses from collecting societies (for example ASCAP and BMI in the United States, PPL PRS in the United Kingdom, SIAE and SCF in Italy) or through a music service for businesses. Personal streaming accounts are for personal use only.
Videos, ads and events
A hotel video, a restaurant ad, a post for the store’s social media or a video made for an event in the venue: these are licensed directly, with one request at elyaz.com/licensing.
Common questions
- Do restaurants need a license to play music?
- Usually yes. Playing music to customers is a public performance, covered by licenses from the local collecting societies or by a music service for businesses. In the United States, some restaurants that only play the radio or TV may be exempt.
- Can a hotel use a song in its promotional video?
- Yes, with a sync and master license for the video.
- Can a business use his songs as music on hold?
- Music on hold is a public performance, usually covered by the collecting society licenses the business holds, such as TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS in the United Kingdom, or by a music on hold provider that includes them.
