Our producer portal label.gvl has gone online in the last few days, with a new look and with numerous extended functions.

All the latest information on GVL's corona support scheme and the current status of advance payments for performers.

The corona pandemic is creating unique challenges and existential worries for Europe's creative professionals. In order to support creative people in this exceptional situation, AEPO-ARTIS, the umbrella organisation of European collecting societies for performing artists, has joined the "SaveEUculture" campaign.

To provide tangible financial relief for freelance or short-term employed performers who have got into economic difficulties, GVL has decided to pay an advance to affected performers. In order to receive it, rightsholders are requested to submit an application forthe corona relief by 30 April 2020.

In order to express our appreciation to the helpers and heroes of the health industry, GVL has decided to convert the annual small gift for employees at Easter into a donation.

The music culture in Germany, which is so diverse and provides an identity, finds itself in a dramatic situation in the face of the corona pandemic and faces an uncertain future.

GVL has adopted an additional type of short-term assistance: Advance payments to GVL producers of sound recordings were launched today. At the same time, we are working at full speed on advance payments for performers.

Today, intensive and constructive discussions between GVL and its associates continued. The objective is to provide GVL's rightsholders with further financial support in the coming weeks and months.

Over the period of just a few days, GVL mobilised all of its 190 employees to the extent that they are able to work from home and operations for our rightsholders can be maintained with only a few restrictions.
