Operations
"Sentric allows access to income streams that previously were inaccessible to an unsigned artist, while at the same time allowing artists to retain complete control over the copyright of their material." [ [http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/business/business-local/2007/05/31/innovative-website-helps-musicians-cut-out-the-middle-man-64375-19222704/ Liverpool Daily Post] ]
"We make sure musicians get paid for their music being played to the public, whether it's at a concert, on the radio, TV etc no matter how big or small; from your local boozer to the Wembley Stadium or from BBC Radio 1 to Basingstoke FM. The service is available to everyone as long as they perform original material and everything can be done via our website."
