Anne Freeman, Founder and President of The Aspiring Songwriter™, started this venture when aspiring to learn about songwriting, and consequently the songwriting and music business.
After joining the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and running the Princeton Songwriters chapter in New Jersey for seven years, Anne realized that most songwriters, including herself, knew very little about how the songwriting and publishing business worked, let alone how new technologies and the internet were impacting those business models.
She founded The Aspiring Songwriter™ first as a vehicle to discover and share resources with songwriters. Her company represents her journalistic work under The Aspiring Songwriter™, and in this capacity she serves as Editor in Chief of the music business e-journal MusicDish.
Under the The Aspiring Songwriter™ umbrella include her two songwriting publishing companies, Aspire 2 Music(ASCAP) and Nada Love Song Music, along with her record label, Sand Dollar Records™.
