May 2021

Dear ASCAP member,

Enclosed is your latest ASCAP royalty statement for international performances of your music. Flip over this letter for an abridged list of the societies, performance periods and revenue classes reflected in this distribution. Visit www.ascap.com/distributioncomms for the full grid. This statement also includes additional funds for international performances that occurred in prior periods.

This month we launched the virtual 2021 ASCAP Experience, our signature annual event and the place to be if you are a music creator. This year’s edition kicked off with maestro Greg Kurstin – a musical genius who has penned and produced hits for Adele, Sia, Kelly Clarkson, Halsey, Maren Morris, Paul McCartney, Greta van Fleet and so many more – interviewed by his good friend Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. Beck stopped by for a visit to help me present Greg with the ASCAP Golden Note Award. And that was just day 1! The Experience brings you new insights, renewed inspiration and more chances to get heard, twice a month through the fall. And it is totally free. RSVP and find out what we have coming at www.ascapexperience.com.

May is Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary impact of the AAPI community on American culture over the last two hundred years. Music is certainly no exception. Visit www.ascap.com/aapiheritage to hear a playlist of ASCAP music, past and present, created by our AAPI family. You can also listen to 10 ASCAP writers speak eloquently about how their Asian heritage has impacted them as music creators and people, on a special episode of VERSED: The ASCAP Podcast.

For so many of us, making music together again is the light at the end of the dark tunnel we have all been through during the pandemic. But let us not forget that music is also what helped us make it through. Last month, just weeks after he was elected to the ASCAP Board, Jon Batiste won an Oscar for the brilliant score to , co-composed by fellow ASCAP member . In his acceptance speech Jon spoke beautifully about the glorious gift that we music creators possess: “Every gift is special. Every contribution with music that comes from the divine into the instruments...into the minds and hearts and souls of every person who hears it, the stories that happen when you listen to it...the stories you share, the moments you create, the memories you make…man, it’s just so incredibly special.”

Music is a gift. May we never lose sight of the importance of what you do. Thank you for your music.

Sincerely,

Paul Williams
