GET READY, GET READY, GET READY!

Looking for a chance to be heard? The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) in Atlanta are holding it’s “Check It Out “ Series. http://www.ascap.com/Playback/2013/03/faces-places/rhythm-soul/ascap-atlanta-hosts-check-it-out-series.aspx. If you are an artist, songwriter, and/or producer, here is your chance for stardom!!  There are two requirements to enter. (1) You must have talent, of course, and (2), you must be a member of ASCAP.

·      ASCAP is a membership organization with over 460,000 members, which include composers, songwriters, lyricists and music publishers of every kind of music. http://www.ascap.com/join/ 
·      ASCAP has agreements with international organizations that allow them to represent hundreds of thousands of music creators worldwide.  They are the only US performing rights organization that is created and controlled by composers, songwriters, and music publishers, with a Board of Directors elected by and from their membership. 
·      ASCAP protects their membership by licensing and distributing for non- dramatic performances of copyrighted materials. The organization makes it easier to get and obtain permission to perform music for creators and music users.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get the break that you have been longing for!
