I feel good about my tiny contribution. Let me expand a little.
Indie artists have a little trouble getting paid because it's hard to see their footprint sometimes. The
company I work for has a for-pay service that guarantees people can get into the system and see their spins.
It's mostly for promoters. But artists who get played on radio -- at least the major indy radio stations in big markets -- can see a little check from ASCAP out of it. ASCAP uses our data to figure who's getting airplay.
Can't wait to hear this stuff SM!
