Me, too but I do not have any real credits. This will be my first time. Going to get those connects.
I am both but not making any money from it. I got my membership when it was free. It is being held in Hollywood, CA in April. From the 24th to the 26th.
http://www.ascap.com/expo it isn't just for members.
we in the same boat.. Ive actually stopped working on music for over a year now.. too much money spent..
good luck tho
wait how did you get membership? lol
so when they ask what songs have you done or whatever.. what did you say?
I mean I used internet radio as my *cough cough* where some of my songs were playing..lol
Thanks. I took years off from it too but started back last year. I am working on my strategy to make a sustainable career in music. That may require me to move to Los Angeles.
You do not need anything just a unique publishing name and the standard registration information. Easy peezy.
My goal is to have an official credit by the end of the year or at least a publishing contract. I signed up for a 1O1 session with with an actual industry professional and they offer only 500 each year so in those 15 minutes I hope to make a friend and connect on some leads so I can at least get a job since I am a college grad.
Hardly anybody is making any bread
join the party
Like ghostface said "waiting on these royalties is like waiting on babies"

That's that rapper money but producing and having diversity in one's music helps. Plus, getting in the door means so much when one has many skills. Most rap dudes aren't educated or know how to make real use of that clout. That access can at least lead to a respectable 9 to 5 in the music industry.
but u just stated "you werent making any money" so how do u explain that
and when im talking MONEY im talking ROYALTIES
Even producers are having difficulties getting checks..cause of the lack of airplay and the rising mass of internet and digital radio stations whom are not registered and monitered by ASCAP and BMI
Along with the fact that very few producers are getting signed to publishing / production deals
most cats like my client are just getting upfront flat payouts for one offs sessions and beats
One can be a session musician, push their music to licensed in any medium possible, there a plethora of jobs in the music industry that resemble our "standard" 9 to 5s. Music is like any business. Most do not see dividends until years after the fact.but u just stated "you werent making any money" so how do u explain that

Money is easier to be made once credibility is established.
