TONO
TONO
The performance & mechanical responsible for collecting royalties in Norway.
About TONO
TONO is Norway's collective management organization for songwriters, composers, and music publishers. Norway has one of the highest per-capita music spending rates in the world, driven by high streaming adoption, a strong live music culture, and robust broadcasting.
TONO handles both performance and mechanical rights. Norwegian electronic music artists (Kygo, Alan Walker, Röyksopp) have achieved global success, and Norway's black metal scene has a devoted worldwide following.
Like other Nordic societies, TONO is known for efficient, transparent operations and strong collaboration with regional partners.
How TONO works
Norwegian Market Coverage
TONO licenses all public performances and mechanical reproductions in Norway.
High Per-Capita Value
Norway's high per-capita music spending means each stream and performance generates above-average royalties.
Distribution
TONO distributes quarterly and routes international royalties through reciprocal agreements.
Why TONO matters for songwriters
Norway is served by TONO for performance & mechanical royalties. Without direct registration, international songwriters rely on reciprocal agreements — which typically add 12–24 months of delay before royalties reach you.
