The US music licensing system
is the most fragmented in the world.
Unlike the UK’s single TheMusicLicence (PRS + PPL combined), US businesses must deal with four separate performing rights organizations — each with their own rates, contracts, and renewal cycles.
American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers
Minimum fee for a small cafe or salon; scales with seating capacity and usage type.
Broadcast Music Inc.
Minimum threshold for small venues. Live music, DJs, and TV audio push costs higher.
SESAC (formerly Society of European Stage Authors & Composers)
Represents major hit songwriters — skipping SESAC means gaps in popular catalog coverage.
Global Music Rights
The newest major PRO, representing premium exclusive songwriters. Growing enforcement activity.
Running total — before you even play a single song
$1,000–$2,000+
per year, per location. Plus administration time for four separate contracts.
Sonosfera: $19/month. One subscription. All licensing handled. No PRO contracts.

Sound familiar?
If you play music in your business, you’ve already run into at least one of these.
Paying $1,000–$2,000+/year across ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR — for music you still have to source yourself
Using Spotify or Apple Music in your business — a direct terms-of-service violation that exposes you to fines up to $150,000 per infringement
Missing a PRO license renewal and suddenly being in violation without knowing it
Playing the radio while ads interrupt your clients' experience
Here’s what most businesses do
None of these are great options. You’re either overpaying, taking a risk, or settling.
Confusing paperwork, four separate contracts, still need a music source
Not licensed for business use — you're breaking their terms of service
Ads interrupt clients, or dead silence kills the vibe
Imagine if it were simpler
What if you could have all the music your business needs — legally — without the hassle?
Press play and know every track is 100% legal
Music that matches your brand — morning to close
No ASCAP contract. No BMI license. No PRO paperwork.
One simple price. Cancel anytime.
That’s exactly what Sonosfera does.

Perfect for your business
Legal Background Music for Every US Venue
Hair Salons
Most salons use Spotify on a personal account — a terms violation. Sonosfera is the legal upgrade that sounds just as good, costs less than one PRO license alone.
Barbershops
ASCAP and BMI actively audit barbershops. Music is part of the culture — it should feel deliberate and legal. Sonosfera keeps the vibe right, risk-free.
Cafes & Coffee Shops
Third-wave coffee culture runs on curated atmosphere. Guests who stay 20 minutes longer order one more thing. Sonosfera is the most affordable tool for increasing average spend.
Spas & Wellness
You've built a sanctuary. One wrong track — an ad, a chart hit, a jarring transition — breaks it in seconds. Sonosfera keeps treatment rooms in their own world.

More than background music
The Sonosfera Feeling
"The right music doesn’t just fill silence — it transforms the entire feeling of your space."
The Sonosfera philosophy
Fair questions, honest answers
"But is the music actually good?"
Every track is composed by professional musicians and curated for commercial spaces. Tap play above to hear for yourself — no signup needed.
"Will my clients notice it's not Spotify?"
Your clients hear atmosphere, not brand names. Background music works best when it sets the mood without drawing attention — and that's exactly what this is built for.
"What if I want specific artists or songs?"
You can request music types, moods, and genres through your dashboard — and your feedback shapes what gets added next. Specific chart songs aren't available due to licensing, but you'll always have the right atmosphere for your space.
