THE ROLLING STONES - ANGIE 1973 LONDON RECORDS COLGEMS EMI MUSIC INC. ASCAP NO ADS PLACE TO BE
Country as can be, but love any music. To me music is all soul music. If it lifts you or pulls at you, then it's literally lifting your soul. I write music lyrics and have all my life. I'm into physics and ancient geology. I love animals, I am Vegan. The only thing I do hate is hate itself, life is short.

About MUSIC BY AZUMA
If you're new here, my name is Michael Azuma and I’ve had the pleasure of working with artists like Flowsik, Haiden, and Kabwasa as well as brands like Amazon Prime Video, Breathwrk, and Genshin Impact in their musical endeavors.

ASCAP is a non-profit organization that acts as an intermediary between music users and copyright holders. Its role is basically to supervise, collect, and pass on royalties due to the owners of the works.
Performance royalties are the fees music users pay when music is performed publicly. Music played over the radio, in a restaurant or bar, or over a service like Spotify or Pandora is considered a public performance and these royalties are paid to songwriters and producers through their PRO or performing rights organization.

About MUSIC BY AZUMA
If you're new here, my name is Michael Azuma and I’ve had the pleasure of working with artists like Flowsik, Haiden, and Kabwasa as well as brands like Amazon Prime Video, Breathwrk, and Genshin Impact in their musical endeavors. I'm also a music producer who wants to help YOU navigate the music industry. For more info visit my website: https://musicbyazuma.org/
ASCAP is a non-profit organization that acts as an intermediary between music users and copyright holders. Its role is basically to supervise, collect, and pass on royalties due to the owners of the works.
Performance royalties are the fees music users pay when music is performed publicly. Music played over the radio, in a restaurant or bar, or over a service like Spotify or Pandora is considered a public performance and these royalties are paid to songwriters and producers through their PRO or performing rights organization.

___________________
My name is WesTheTech and I'm a music producer and recording artist who owns his own music business and recording studio. I am an expert at making hip-hop music as well as running a successful full-time business. Have you ever dreamed about doing music full-time? What’s stopping you? Is it that day job you have? Is it those endless bills? Or maybe you just don’t know how to make that dream become a reality?
I completely understand. I had those same problems as well. Back in 2011, my first independent music career failed. All I wanted to do was music full-time, but I didn't know how to successfully accomplish that. Like most unsuccessful artists, I went back to working a regular job. After years of working at that job, I realized through God's teachings that the reason I wasn't doing music full-time was because I wasn't working towards that goal every day.
I realized that there were not going to be any shortcuts to this. I needed to figure out how to (1) make more money "legally" and (2) invest money in the RIGHT places so that I could successfully build an independent music business from the ground up. After a few years of figuring those things out, I was able to quit my job and do music full-time.
And now I want to show you how to do the same thing. And that's why I created WesTheTech Productions, a company that empowers independent recording artists to build a full-time music business so they no longer have to work outside of their craft.
Finally, you'll be able to quit your job. Finally, you'll be able to wake up every day and do music full-time. Finally, you'll be able to travel and perform at events. Finally, you will have your own independent music business.
If you’re local to South Florida keep The House in mind for your home for recording! For more info on the studio click here⬇️⬇️ https://www.westhetechproductions.com...

Country as can be, but love any music. To me music is all soul music. If it lifts you or pulls at you, then it's literally lifting your soul. I write music lyrics and have all my life.

Considering the ASCAP vs. BMI debate, whether it's ASCAP's no-fee policy for songwriters or BMI's varied fee structure for music publishers, I've got the scoop on what's best for your wallet and your work. Plus, I'll share my personal favorite based on my own experience in the music biz. 🌟 If this helps you, please like, comment, and subscribe!
Choosing the right performing rights organization (PRO) is no simple melody. ASCAP's championing of songwriters with their free membership now clashes head-on with BMI's flexibility for publishers, leaving creators caught in a key change. Is one organization a crescendo of opportunity, or is the other a downbeat on your royalties? Watch the full video to discover which PRO harmonizes best with your career goals before the applause fades on your potential!
