So I know I have been out of the loop for sometime and the last thing you guys heard from me was "I have an audition for SESAC..." (http://www.sesac.com/). That was on October 8th...amd I'm pleased to announce that as of December 6th, 2010 I have officially signed with SESAC Performing Rights Organization.
This is a major step for me as I am in the beginning stages of my professional songwriting career...it's kind of cool...ok not "kind of"...but fantastic! :)
A year and and half ago I made the decision that I wanted to be with SESAC as opposed to BMI or ASCAP. Why? Well although SESAC has been around for 80 years, it is the smaller BUT more prestigous of the three, the process is selective and they pay more attention to molding the novice. Other songwriters/producers/artists on their roster include: Bryan Michael Cox, Swizz Beats, Rico Love ( There goes my baby-Usher), Lady Atebellum...amongst so many of our favorites in the music industry. It is a great honor to be on the same roster as these successful individuals. So far I've had the opportunity to submit songs for Kenny Latimore's new album "Back to Cool" and I got a chance to meet him, and he's so much MORE finer in person *heart flutters*
So what does this mean now?
It means that I am on a platform where I can get the songs that I write to actual artists, for them to record.
This also means that I am Owner and CEO of Knight Prodigy Publishing, which allows me to control all my publishing rights. SB: It was so funny when I was signing off on everything, there was a portion that asked what my title was...I was dumbfounded so I had to ask...and when I asked it seemed like the dumbest question ever, but the only dumb questions are the ones not asked, the end result Owner/CEO... at that point it clicked to me that this was serious and if I was going to be successful, it was up to no one else but yours truly.
So here goes...something! and oh yeah did I mention I got a new man too? :) 2011 is starting off pretty good...I hope it stays that way.
Happy Dreaming you guys!
