2018 is in the books, and we’re extremely proud of what we accomplished on behalf of music creators. Passage of the Music Modernization Act (MMA) was a profound policy achievement that modernized U.S. copyright laws. The MMA includes the CLASSICS Act, which guarantees federal copyright protection for sound recordings recorded before February 15, 1972 and ensures that legacy artists receive compensation for their work. The new law also includes the AMP Act, which codifies SoundExchange’s practice of honoring Letters of Direction (LODs) from recording artists.

But that’s not all. We had another accomplishment in 2018. We distributed more sound recording performance royalties to recording artists and rights owners than in any other year of our 15-year existence – a record $953 million. We reached that historic milestone with a strong fourth quarter, distributing $345 million in Q4 to music creators. We’ve achieved so much, but now we’re focused on 2019. As we look ahead, rest assured that we will continue to do all we can to make sure music creators get paid fairly and that the industry operates in the most efficient, transparent way possible.
My name is Kendall Prescod, and my business is called Empire Genius. I started up this genius endeavour a few years ago with the sole intention of becoming a great motivational speaker and builder of great minds. I wanted to create a platform where people all around the world can gather from all walks of life and share ideas or touch basis with proven methods to improve a person thought process to ensure a greater life. I’m based in Houston with expansion on the horizon, because I’ve always witnessed the demand for uplifting a person’s mind to elevate beyond their current state and wildest dreams. One reason is that the world hides information and wants you to be the same, following rules that are not meant for you. Thus; with the knowledge I have gathered over the years, I committed myself to betterment of the people; through opening the blinds of their mind. I was raised with limitations set upon my life an I vowed to never let another person be setback by their mind or circumstances that might be detrimental to progress. Being in touch with the Trinity can propel anyone to great heights, once you distinguish the fake from the true all worry a doubt that might plague your life will fade away, then u will soar like never before…
