Sounds Right Launches Royalty-Sharing Initiative to Fund Conservation Efforts
6 Nov
Summary
- Sounds Right allows artists to submit music incorporating nature sounds
- 50% of royalties go to artists, 50% to environmental causes
- Project has raised $400,000 for conservation in the Amazon and Congo Basin
In November 2025, the Sounds Right project announced an update that allows artists to officially credit "Nature" in their music and submit it for inclusion on the charitable playlist. Sounds Right, which launched in April 2024, features new and older tracks that incorporate natural sounds like bird calls, waves, and wind. The project directs the royalties generated from this music to conservation efforts.
Now, any artist can submit their nature-inspired work to Sounds Right, with 50% of the royalties going to the artist and the other 50% supporting environmental causes. The project has already raised a total of $400,000 for Indigenous and community-led conservation in the Amazon and Congo Basin regions, building on $225,000 it directed to projects in the Tropical Andes in 2024.
Sounds Right has added 14 new tracks to the playlist, showcasing the natural world of the Amazon and Africa. Artists like Alexia Evellyn, Juls, and Antonio Sánchez have contributed music that celebrates and honors these vital ecosystems. The project aims to keep opening new avenues for people to connect with the importance of preserving and protecting nature.
