KAMP Copyright and Related Rights Limited is Kenya’s collective management organisation for producers of sound recordings and performers. Incorporated in 2003 as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, it operated for two decades as the Kenya Association of Music Producers before members voted to rebrand at its 16th AGM in October 2024.

KAMP has been licensed by the Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) to operate as a Collective Management Organisation since May 2008, and represents more than 700 Kenyan music producers. It licenses broadcasters, hotels, retail outlets, matatus and other transport operators, and events for the public use of recorded music, then distributes the collected fees to its members alongside two sister CMOs that license separate classes of rights, PRISK for performers and, historically, MCSK for composers and publishers.

KAMP is member-owned rather than government-run, though its licence to collect is granted and periodically reviewed by KECOBO, including a forensic audit condition attached to its most recent full-year licence.
