Model Kate Moss has become a part of the society that protects UK musicians and songwriters’ rights after her boyfriend Jamie Hince has reportedly mellowed to the idea of letting Kate sing in his band The Kills.
A source said: “He’s so used to hearing Kate sing at home and in karaoke and he’s tempted to give it a go. She makes no secret of wanting to record more stuff before it’s too late for her.”
The 35-year-old, who has previously co-written several songs with her ex Pete Doherty, has never before claimed money for her work, but now the society will be also be able to help her with this.
A Performing Rights Society spokesperson has said that Kate joining the society was “a smart move”.
She said: “Kate has co-written some songs with Pete Doherty and she will now be able to collect her share of royalties.
“For any future songs she writes and which are played on radio, TV or live – we will also collect the royalties due.”
She added: “Both Peter Doherty and Jamie Hince are members. We are glad to welcome Kate too.”
