About

Who is ESMAA ?

ESMAA (which translates from Arabic as "Listen") is a private music rights management entity launched publicly in August 2021 by PopArabia, the leading independent music company in the Middle East. It is fully owned by PopArabia, itself a portfolio investment of twofour54, Abu Dhabi's media zone authority.

ESMAA holds representation agreements with global collecting societies including PRS for Music (UK) and SOCAN (Canada), covering tens of millions of musical works, as well as agreements with SESAC, AMRA and IMRO. It has built the first comprehensive music repertoire database for the Gulf territories, enabling domestic licensing of recorded and published music in the UAE and Gulf states.

ESMAA holds CISAC Client Rights Management Entity status — the first Gulf-region organisation to benefit from CISAC's technical tools for authors' rights administration. Unlike a national collecting society, ESMAA operates as a private company administering third-party repertoire and facilitating licensing between international rights owners and Gulf-market users.

What is ESMAA ?
