Dae Bogan To Lead Seminar “The Art And Business Of Songwriting Collabs”

New technologies and online resources have made it possible for songwriters to find and collaborate with fellow songwriters, musicians, and singers from around the world more efficiently and economically than ever before. The convenient nature of the virtual collaboration and music production ecosystem has contributed to the explosion of independent music made available on digital music services today. Accordingly, the RIAA and IFPI have both reported steady growth in independent music in the last few years.

Now, it’s your turn to get involved in the collab movement! Register to attend this insightful webinar on Thursday, June 20th, where Dae Bogan Music, Head of Third-Party Partnerships at The MLC, and Kevin McCarty, CEO and Co-Founder at We Should Write Sometime, will discuss the art and business of songwriting collabs while highlighting WSWS app features for songwriters and The MLC’s tools and resources for self-administered songwriters.

[Video] Artist Managers Connect presents AMA About The Mechanical Licensing Collective with Dae Bogan

Dae Bogan conducts a Facebook Live “Ask Me Anything” regarding The Mechanical Licensing Collective in the Artist Managers Connect Facebook group on January 20th, 2021. Watch

Is the blanket license royalty rate determined after the majors have negotiated their license with the DSPs?

Does registration with the MLC supersede registrations with HFA and MRI?

If a song was previously licensed under the voluntary license, does it now have a secondary revenue to coming from the blanket license, or do you have to choose one path over the other?

Will the MLC establish reciprocal mechanical collections with foreign mechanical CMOs such as MCPS and AMCOS?

Watch me answer these questions and many more from artist managers in my “Ask Me Anything About The Mechanical Licensing Collective”

Dae Bogan shares how he sees solutions and “warps” them into business ideas — which is both a blessing and a curse. He began with selling cakes in middle school and organizing bus tours in high school from Cleveland, OH to New York. From his early history in acting, singing, and creating and producing events, he moved into a long series of start-ups (including putting gogo dancers in store windows) before moving into various endeavors in music tech. Dae has started and sold a variety of cloud-based ventures as well as mentored founders of other startups. Dae shares how he now is bringing those diverse skills to bear as head of Third-Party Partnerships with The Music Licensing Collective. The MLC works with music publishers and artists to collect and distribute their streaming royalties.
