SComPAM (acronym for Haitian Society of Songwriters, Composers, performers, producers, and Authors of Music) is a collective management organization (CMO) that administers the rights of Haitian musicians and their music. Headquartered in New York City and operating in Haiti as a subsidiary of KOMPRO, SComPAM was founded by Negre Marron Records CEO and Label director René Guemps in NYC. SComPAM's slogan is "A Better Future for Haitian Music." This organization monitors the use of protected works, negotiates tariffs and licenses, and collects fees from users to distribute to rights holders, which include Haitian Kompa Songwriters, Authors, Lyricists, Composers, Performers, Producers, Publishers, and other artists, usually through their record labels. These fees are then distributed to the rights holders for their public and sound recording, including digital performance, terrestrial broadcast, commercial or community radio, low-power broadcasting or microbroadcasting (SubCarriers), TV stations, and similar platforms that stream Haitian Kompa music over both AM/FM bands and satellite radio. In short, SComPAM is the go-to organization for anyone who wants to use Haitian music legally and ethically, and they are dedicated to creating a better future for Haitian music.
