OUR MEMBERS
Who Our Members Are
In RPM, our members are recording performers who have publically released at least one commercial recording that has received national airplay. They can be either a featured performer, a non-featured performer or both.
Featured Recording Artists
A featured performer is a recording artist who is the leading performer in a sound recording released commercially to the public. A recording artist is usually in contract with a record label and can be an individual, a band, or a vocal group.
Professional Session Musicians
A non-featured performer is a session musician hired to make a supporting musical contribution by performing in a recording session. Session musicians receive a one-time fee for their service. They can be instrumentalists (guitarists, drummers, trumpeters, etc.) or backup singers.
