In this second part of a VERY insightful interview, ASCAP's Etan Rosenbloom reflects on ways to introduce your music to the world, and then explains how ASCAP collects monies for your music catalogue digitally. We get into the current issues with PRO’s and digital music services and end the interview with hearing other benefits of being apart of a PRO.

Etan Rosenbloom is fighting the good fight from within ASCAP, one of the three Performing Rights Organizations in America. He tells us about interviewing artists with a difference perspective and why you, as an artist, should try to make each interview feel fresh and natural. We then dig into how technology now is allowing for a different relationship between artist and fan versus 20 years ago. Etan also provides insights into how to publicize your upcoming work and projects as an artist as well as ways to get the attention of bloggers, writers, newspapers, etc.

It turns out the label move to Red Bow Records is paying off for Joe Nichols, as it helped earn him his fifth number one hit with "Sunny and 75."  Kelly Lynn joined up with BMI and ASCAP for a special bumber one party at the Country Music Association to honor Joe along with writers Michael Dulaney, Paul Jenkins and Jason Sellers for that hit song.

Tyler Farr hit the big time with his first full length studio album "Redneck Crazy" last summer, which included the now-number one hit of the same name.  We had a chance to catch up with Tyler to celebrate his very first number one along with writers Mark Irwin, Josh Kear, and Chirs Tompkins at a party at ASCAP. 

Aliya Leigh Is Recognized as a Spokesperson for the GLBT Youth

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - January 5, 2011) - In the interview with Echo Magazine, 

Aliya Leigh mentions how she came out to her parents and the consequences she
suffered from them and her childhood religion.

Aliya Leigh gave an interview about God and her sexuality. As a child, she was
raised a Jehovah's Witness, but knew she was gay. Knowing this, she tried to
commit suicide because she knew her sexuality was a sickness in God's eyes.

For years, she denied her sexuality and tried to obey her bible principles.
During these years, she felt like a zombie walking in society. With the help
from friends, she was able to accept herself and her sexuality -- the way God
made her.

Aliya Leigh is a spokesperson for teenagers who are part of the GLBT community
and tries to help them in any way she can. She knows what they are going
through and doesn't want them to suffer like she did as a teenager.

The article will be featured in the January 6 edition of Echo Magazine.
