The Songwriters Guild of America, based in Brentwood, TN, is a professional organization dedicated to protecting the rights and interests of songwriters and music creators. With a history dating back to 1931, the SGA offers a range of services and resources for both established and developing songwriters, including copyright protection, licensing assistance, and royalty collection. Through their advocacy efforts, the SGA works to increase royalty rates, strengthen laws against music piracy, and educate lawmakers about the music industry.
Driven by a passion for music, the SGA provides support and guidance to developing songwriters, offering critiques, consultations with professional writers, and access to discounts and equipment giveaways. Their commitment to protecting songwriting as a career extends to the dangers posed by artificial intelligence, as they work alongside legal counsel and advocacy groups to ensure fair compensation for creators in the face of generative AI technology.
