ASCAP has announced the songwriters chosen for their 12th annual ASCAP GPS (Guidance from Publishers for Songwriters) Project.

The ASCAP Nashville membership team, led by ASCAP Vice President Mike Sistad, designed the program to help promising, unsigned songwriters who have been identified as ready for a publishing deal take the next step in their career. Well-known ASCAP GPS alumni include Jacob Davis, Hannah Dasher, Caylee Hammack, Joe Ragosta and more.

Curated by ASCAP Associate Director of Nashville Membership Duane Hobson and ASCAP Manager of Nashville Membership Emilia James, the ASCAP GPS Project Class of 2024 includes up-and-coming songwriters Aaron Pollock, Bobby Watson, Bri Fletcher, Bryce Cain, Daniella Spadini, Dylan Rockoff, Fran Litterski, Jillian Dawn, John Frank and Maggie Reeves.

Over the next several months, the writers will be paired with publishers who will critique their songs and host followup meetings to help develop their craft. By the end of the program, each songwriter will have met with representatives from at least five publishers. The program has helped numerous songwriters earn publishing agreements as a result of their participation.

Participating 2024 publishers include Sony Music Publishing, Warner Chappell Music, Universal Music Publishing Group, BMG Music Publishing, Concord Music Publishing, Liz Rose Music, Sea Gayle Music, Spirit Music Nashville, Endurance Music Group and MV2 Entertainment.

Songwriters from the GPS Project Class of 2023 will perform in the GPS Project LIVE showcase at The Basement on Oct. 21 featuring Blake Rackley, Chris Housman, Dan Harrison and Kalina Tyne.
