The European Composer and Songwriter Alliance (ECSA) is an international, non-profit organization based in Brussels and composed by more than 55 associations of composers and songwriters in more than 25 different European countries. It represents around 30,000 music creators and was founded in 2007. ECSA is co-financed by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
ECSA is a European network whose main objective is to defend and promote the rights of music authors on a national, European, and international level. The Alliance advocates for equitable commercial conditions for composers and songwriters and strives to improve the social and economic development of music creation in Europe.
The three main genres of music composition are represented within ECSA in three different committees (APCOE, ECF and FFACE which represent respectively: popular music, art & contemporary music, and film & audio-visual music). ECSA President is Helienne Lindvall, who was elected to this position in February 2022
