The music industry is stepping up to support artists affected by recent Los Angeles wildfires. The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) will distribute $1 million in emergency aid to songwriters and composers who have suffered property damage or were forced to evacuate.
ASCAP’s CEO Elizabeth Matthews emphasized the organization’s dedication to supporting its members during this challenging period. She explained that the fund will prioritize artists who have directly experienced hardship from the wildfires.
ASCAP members impacted by the fires can receive financial assistance for losses to their homes or professional studios. The relief fund aims to provide immediate support to creative professionals caught in the disaster’s path.
Eligible musicians can find application details and full information about the relief program on ASCAP’s website. The fund represents a critical lifeline for artists facing unexpected property losses and displacement.
