ASCAP Snapshot
ASCAP’s main role is to make sure our members are fairly compensated when their music is performed in public. We uphold the value of our members’ music, and help them thrive alongside the businesses that use their music every day.
ASCAP is committed to protecting the rights of our members. We work to elevate the voice of the music creator, build relationships with our allies in Congress and foster thoughtful policy-making for the benefit of creators, business and consumers alike.

We are a professional organization of 700,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers, owned and run by its members, and the world leader in performance royalties, advocacy and service for music creators. We license over 11.5 million ASCAP songs and scores to the businesses that play them publicly, then send the money to our members as royalties. We use cutting-edge technology to process over one trillion performances every year - more than any PRO in the world.
