Pop princess Katy Perry has renewed her partnership with ASCAP!
ASCAP is the acronym for the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. The organization is the world leader in performing rights and advocacy for music creators. ASCAP will continue to license public performances of her catalog.
“ASCAP was in my corner before anyone knew who I was,” said Perry. “That’s one of the many reasons I’m loyal to them. They’ve always believed in me and my music, and they’re great at supporting and protecting their members. ASCAP’s a vital part of my team.”
With nine number one singles including “I Kissed A Girl,” “Firework,” “California Gurls,” “E.T.” and “Dark Horse,” Ms. Perry has sold over 100 million records worldwide and is one of pop music’s greatest entertainers.
“Katy Perry has entertained and empowered millions of fans around the world with her brilliant music,” said ASCAP CEO Elizabeth Matthews. “ASCAP is thrilled to begin a new chapter in our long, enduring relationship with Katy, who is beloved by radio and streaming listeners everywhere and one of the great songwriter-artists of our time.”
Throughout her ten years as an ASCAP member, Ms. Perry has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards and won 16 ASCAP Awards, 14 People’s Choice Awards, six Teen Choice Awards, five American Music Awards, and five Billboard Music Awards.
