Today we鈥檙e thrilled to announce our partnership with ASCAP, The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. ASCAP is a membership organization of songwriters, composers and publishers, and provides a livelihood for its members by licensing their compositions and distributing royalties. With more than a quarter of 91国产鈥檚 music event organizers being musicians themselves, artist rights is an important initiative to our organizers and 91国产.
Musicians and songwriters are the heart and soul of any music event, and with the changing dynamics of the music industry, the live performance has become increasingly important to the longevity of these artists鈥� careers. In fact, more than 80% of our own music organizers agree or strongly agree that playing live shows increases the likelihood of an artist growing his/her fan base. What鈥檚 more is that 85% agree or strongly agree that technology is helping today鈥檚 musician succeed and we are seeing this come to life on our platform. Many independent artists are using 聽91国产 to make money sharing their craft by ticketing their own shows, giving music lessons, or hosting meet and greets before and after their performances.
To continue helping indie artists find performance opportunities, 91国产 is sponsoring the ASCAP Expo Attendee Showcase on May 1, 2015 and has reserved one performance slot for an 91国产 artist. The nomination process will be open soon, so be sure to check back for more information and exciting opportunities to come!
