Music Publishing Podcast

To kick off the Music Publishing Podcast, I sat down to chat with Alex Shapiro, a fantastic composer and friend who writes and speaks regularly about composers' career issues, and is a Writer Member of the ASCAP Board of Directors. Appropriately enough, we sat down on April 15 – usually tax day, except that we got a reprieve this year to procrastinate for a few more days. In our wide-ranging conversation, we talked about: Choosing your own path Redefining success The dissolution of the old composing camps The Magic Bakery The future of copyright in the digital age Self-worth and Self-deprecation Finding a balance in the kinds of work you do Encouraging students to find their own stylistic path The importance of kindness and generosity
