Dean Ormston, APRA AMCOS Chief Executive, said, “We’re so pleased to partner with Jaxsta on offering this unique benefit to our members. Without doubt, Jaxsta will help empower songwriters and composers to present their work and achievements accurately and with credibility to the music industry and broader public, worldwide. The service’s emphasis on giving credit where credit is due is one that resonates with our members, who often work behind-the-scenes. Jaxsta will serve as a networking tool and connection point to new professional opportunities across the industry.”
Jacqui Louez Schoorl, Co-Founder and CEO of Jaxsta, said, “Partnering with APRA AMCOS on this initiative fulfills one of our main goals with Jaxsta and Jaxsta Pro: to support the careers of artists, songwriters, producers and all music industry professionals. It is a genuine thrill to expand on our relationship with APRA AMCOS in this manner, as the organization plays such an important role in the Australian music industry ecosystem. I look forward to many more collaborations with APRA AMCOS, and to Jaxsta Pro becoming an essential career tool for all of its incredible songwriters, composers and music publishers.”
Amongst its many features, Jaxsta Pro enables songwriters, composers and music publishers to track the use of their work globally like never before. By setting up ‘Custom Chart Alerts’ members can receive notifications detailing where and how their music is charting around the world – a function previously available only to artists.
Jaxsta’s official credit data also keeps its members informed of when and where their music has been released.
Jaxsta contains the profiles of more than 2,300,000 songwriters across its 40 million-plus pages.
Jaxsta Pro is working on the launch of its Musical Works feature, a centralized record of multiple territory publisher information with a comprehensive list of recordings. This will simplify and speed up the process of finding publishing contacts for sync deals, a lucrative form of income for songwriters and composers.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
