The Big Switch


I've been an ASCAP writer my entire career....until tomorrow. Tomorrow I will officially become a member of BMI. This was not a decision I made lightly. Based on my experience with ASCAP, and with a publishing company that represents numerous BMI writers, I believe BMI holds Southern Gospel music, and its writers in higher regard than ASCAP does. And it's not just about the money. It's about respect and acknowledgment of a viable art form and an industry.

Congratulations, Marty! I made the switch over a year ago. It was a truly hard decision to make, since I tend to be loyal to a fault (and a really bad procrastinator.) However, I've already found BMI to be much more suited to me and the music I write.

Welcome aboard!
