Today is Music Advocacy Day!
đ¤â¨ @RecordingAcademy members from across the country are meeting with lawmakers to champion creators and ensure music continues to thrive. Add your voice and take action. #MusicAdvocate #SupportMusic
Today I must take a moment to send a song up to my number one friend in heaven, the kindest, most gentle soul in the biz â¨
Wish there was one more gig, one more night shutting down the best weirdest pub in Liverpool, one more debate about our favorite bands, a thousand more jokesâŚ
Youâre the greatest John Sweeney. Two of the best things to come out of Essex are Depeche Mode and You. No debating it. đ
Iâll miss my sidekick across the pond beyond measure. We love you John!!! đ¤
What a beautiful surprise this was!
Thank you @billboard and @mlc_us for the recognition, it means more than I can express on social media. đđ˝
The best part of this acknowledgement is all the love and support Iâve received from all of you. 𼰠It serves as a humble reminder of how important it is to build community along the way. Surround yourself with great humans and they will be there to lift you up when you least expect it.
Congrats to all the incredible women being recognized this year. Itâs an honor to be in your company đđ˝â¨
Something is happening in our Boston creative economy, and the creators and entrepreneurs are asking for more resources and development. đŁď¸WE ARE LISTENING!

Last week, NYC became the epicenter of creativity as it hosted the worldâs largest songwriting camp, @AntiSocialCamp ! Talented songwriters came together to craft new hits, collaborate, and share their passion for music. It was a week full of inspiration, innovation, and unforgettable moments.
Huge thanks to the whole crew at #AntiSocialCamp! The MLC team had a wonderful time connecting with all the talented creators there.

This week at Ralphâs Used & Rare Books đ
Lisa Marie was lucky enough to catch a conversation with this weekâs special guest @missjamiedeee , the newly appointed National Director of Industry Relations at the @mlc_us for B.A.K Magazine.
Jamie is a wearer of many hats, a creative sherpa as they say, whoâs been facilitating power plays and connecting dots behind the scenes for over two decades. She touches on the financial side of the music biz, the importance of understanding mechanical royalties and educating artists on how to properly collect them. One of her fundamental driving forces is to really leave the industry better than how she found it.
Read on as Jamie talks about her illustrious journey through the industry, serving on the @recordingacademy NY Chapter board of Governors, her time at @soundroyalties and early beginnings building the songwriter and publisher roster at @sesac .
Head on over to Ralphâs in the @big.ass.kids neighborhood for the full read and a glimpse of her impeccable taste with an eclectically curated playlist for your listening pleasure. đż [link in bio]
