About Me

What is ASCAP? No, we are not a publishing company. We are a performance right organization. Started more than 90 years ago by a group of songwriters to protect themselves and their peers, we still operate under the same guidelines: We are here to protect our members. Sounds too good to be true, but ask around. We are genuinely the most artist friendly company there is. We are a non-profit organization here to collect the money that you deserve. We are the easiest decision you will ever have to make in the music industry. www.ascap.com.The Chicago office of ASCAP is conveniently located in the heart of Wicker Park, @ 1608 N Milwaukee Ave.M-F 10 a.m-6 pm773-394-4286~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~About ASCAP: Established in 1914, ASCAP is the first and leading U.S. Performing Rights Organization representing the world's largest repertory totaling over 8.5 million copyrighted musical works of every style and genre from more than 320,000 composer, lyricist and music publisher members.
