Our Nashville team has announced the participants in the ASCAP GPS Project, which showcases songwriters who are ready for a publishing deal. The eight writers are paired with publishers who will critique their songs and host virtual follow-up meetings to help the writer develop. By the end of the year, each songwriter will have met with at least five publishers.
Beginning in June and continuing through mid-July, the innovative format will, for the first time, allow more friends and fans to join the online festivities, with three days of dedicated content for each genre on ASCAP’s social media channels including livestreamed performances, special celebrity appearances, winner spotlights and interviews.
ASCAP has transformed its signature ASCAP Experience conference into a free, ongoing weekly virtual event beginning May 28. Set to inspire, educate and connect music creators everywhere, Home Edition will teach viewers how to make money as a songwriter, composer or producer, and how to navigate the music industry. The series launches with a featured conversation between platinum-certified Grammy winner Shaggy and his manager and founder of Cherrytree Records Martin Kierszenbaum, and a discussion of Billboard #1 hit “Stuck with U” with co-writers Whitney Phillips and Gian Stone.
