ABOUT MORGAN BRASFIELD:

Morgan Brasfield has spent her career dedicated to songwriters, both amatuer and professional. After graduating Belmont University she began her career at NSAI where she held several roles before moving to Kobalt Music in 2017. As a Creative Manager at Kobalt she works closely with writers and publishing company clients overseeing calendar management, co-writing opportunities, and song pitching. 

ABOUT KOBALT MUSIC:  

Founded in 2000 by Swedish entrepreneur Willard Ahdritz, Kobalt took a bet on digital music and won.  The startup built a platform to maximize efficiency, accuracy, and transparency across the billions of micro-payments collected in today’s highly complex digital world. As traditional music companies fought technology and contracted, Kobalt embraced it and grew, building a global digital music infrastructure and world-class creative team purposely designed to usher in the streaming era and a more fair, rewarding music business for creators.

Now in operation for over 20 years, Kobalt has become a destination for songwriters, artists, publishers, and rights holders. With its unique one global roster, one territory approach, the company represents some of the most iconic and exciting songwriters in the world, including Roddy Ricch, Max Martin, FINNEAS, Karol G, Andrew Watt, Stevie Nicks, Phoebe Bridgers, The Lumineers, Gunna, Justin Quiles, The Foo Fighters, Paul McCartney, and many more. Today, the company, on average, represents over 40% of the top 100 songs and albums in the US and the UK.

The company’s mission as a positive transformative force for the benefit of all creators remains. As the music industry hurdles forward, Kobalt continues as a steadfast change agent to ensure creators and rightsholders are paid fairly. Its latest innovation, AMRA, the only global digital society, continues to remove the frictions and spillage in the last mile of paying songwriters and rights holders. Through AMRA and Kobalt’s award-winning publishing business, the company will continue to build as a premier destination for creators and won’t stop until all the friction in the collecting world is removed.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE: 

You must be an NSAI Member to fully participate in pitch / feedback workshops.

Bring an MP3 version of your song that you can easily play from your phone, along with two lyric sheets for the song you chose. (Cassette tapes will not be accepted.)

*Members are more than welcome to attend and simply observe the event even if they do not want to submit a song for pitch!

We will play the first verse and first chorus of each song and the guest will "pass" or "take a copy".

Up to 50 members can participate and will be played in order of arrival - Members traveling greater than 75 miles or 2 hours from Davidson County will be given priority to participate.*

If you arrive earlier than 5:15pm, please join the line on our covered porch on the Roy Acuff side of building. Once doors open you will sign in and submit your lyrics sheets of the song you chose, to the receptionist for the event.

*ATTENTION OUT-OF-TOWN MEMBERS:

Members traveling greater than 75 miles or 2 hours from Davidson County are considered "out-of-town". You must be in the Priority Line prior to the time that doors open at 5:15pm. If you arrive after 5:15pm, you will be asked to join the end of the "Nashville/Local Line". At that point, there is no guarantee that you will be able to participate.
