They do not represent performers, unless they are also songwriters or arrangers. If a performer is not a composer, arranger, or publisher (represented by ASCAP/BMI/SESAC), nor the copyright holder of a sound recording (represented by SoundExchange), then my understanding is he or she is due no fee for the use of his or her work on the air or in a stream. But I am not a lawyer.
