@prsformusic: 🎸 From Cardiff to Austin: @Ben Ellis at SXSW 2026! 🇺🇸 "We’ve been so lucky to have PRS help us... otherwise we wouldn't be here, basically." We caught up with PRS member Ben Ellis in the heart of Austin to talk about his journey to SXSW 2026. Thanks to the @PRSFoundation International Showcase Fund, Ben was able to take his music stateside, hitting New York for The New Colossus before bringing his energy to Texas. Supporting emerging talent to reach global stages is what it’s all about. 🌍✨ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Next Stop: FOCUS Wales The conversation doesn't stop in Austin! We’re heading to Wrexham next week for FOCUS Wales, and Ben will be joining us for an essential dive into the business of music. Panel: PRS for Music presents – Sign Your Work: Maximise Your Royalties Whether you're a songwriter, producer, or composer, "signing your work" through proper metadata is the first step toward reclaiming value for your music. We’ll be discussing: - The power of metadata on digital platforms. - Reporting setlists to ensure you get paid for live performances. - How descriptors and trends help production music stand out in libraries. 🎤 The Lineup: CHAIR: Crispin Hunt (PRS for Music) John Hywel Morris (PRS for Music) Ben Ellis Owen Gurry Nina Condron (Radio Wigwam) #BenEllis #SXSW2026 #FocusWales
