Mariah Carey Switches to ASCAP

We are thrilled to welcome global superstar Mariah Carey to the ASCAP family! ASCAP will license public performances of her immortal songwriting catalog - from “One Sweet Day” to "Fantasy," Billboard's Song of the Decade “We Belong Together” to the #1 holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

FEATURE

On the Come Up: Jozzy

Memphis-bred songwriter Jozzy co-wrote Billy Ray Cyrus’s verse on “Old Town Road,” which set a record for most consecutive weeks (19) at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and netted Jozzy a Grammy nod for Record of the Year. While “Old Town Road” may have raised Jozzy’s profile considerably, this killer topliner has been on the grind for over decade. Her story is an inspiring one for any talented songsmith starting from the bottom with dreams of greatness.
