Hey Royeei,

                    Took a LONG time to get each meeting....like pulling teeth.  But each one lasted @ half hour, played my stuff, and I had a specific goal, which was to get him to hook me up with a producer to write with. (Not a specific producer, just someone he might think would work well with me).  This was going great, he had some ideas, promised me we'd get it together, until when I followed up later about it.........he had left BMI, without any forwarding info. grrrrrrr :-(     Weirdly enough, now a few years later he's in LA , kinda in the Dr. Luke clique (he's Becky G's manager).   

But no, there's absolutely NO money involved!!

                    For the rest, if you decide to do it, I'd say just research them and call them and see how it goes.  Hope I've helped a little
:-)

One last thing, do you know if I should try with SESAC and PRS as well?

Do you have any experience with MySpace?

SESAC you have to actually apply to join -- they won't see you otherwise.  Don't know anything about PRS, and MySpace......................DEAD, lol   :-D

When I got my first 3-4 bigger cuts for artists I was much easier be heard and also somehow
the A&R's liked songs from me that they rejected months ago just because I had something
on the map. Some kind of psychology.

This is really where it's at. Probably because music is so subjective, trend sensitive and what's hot changes all the time. A lot of the time this leaves the publisher's A&R without much of a clue. And it is easy to get your mind clouded by big industry names, even if the song/production is not that great...
