   • Recordings (mechanical licenses).

   • Live performances and broadcasts (performance licenses).

Contribution to Trinidad & Tobago's Music:

By operating from Port of Spain, Cyprean Music serves as a crucial link for Trinidadian and Tobagonian music to reach global markets legally and commercially. It helps local artists professionalize their careers, ensuring they receive fair compensation when their cultural expressions—whether they be infectious Soca rhythms or politically charged Calypso narratives—are used internationally.

The company's commitment to the business aspect of music supports the financial sustainability of the nation's creative sector, helping to preserve and promote the rich musical heritage of the twin-island republic.
