ASCAP has today’s Throwback Thursday, when Country superstar Brad Paisley was an ASCAP intern. In his 2011 autobiography Diary of a Player, Paisley discussed how his time at ASCAP led to some important working relationships. “Looking back now, I know for a fact that the path I wound up taking was due to ASCAP,” said Paisley. “They would eventually send me to meetings, which led to my first publishing deal at EMI. They allowed me to actually observe the way business was done, as opposed to merely fetch coffee and make copies. And they accidentally introduced me to the most talented song guy I would ever meet, —Chris DuBois.”
