HomeGrownHits.com allows anyone anywhere to upload their original, home recorded songs, have them rated by users, and watch them climb the charts in real time. The fine folks at HomeGrownHits.com are partnering with ESP Guitars and Avid to bring a "Kick-ASCAP" song contest to ASCAP EXPO 2012. The number one song on the charts at the end of the EXPO will win a free ESP Guitar, an M-Box, and Pro Tools 10! Here we have a rep from each of those three esteemed sponsors telling us all about the contest.

The ASCAP "I Create Music" EXPO puts you in the heart of ASCAP's community of today's most successful music creators for three days of education, networking and inspiration. To register, go to: http://www.ascap.com/expo

ASCAP's hundreds of thousands of songwriter, composer and music publisher members all have one thing in common: they are driven to create. ASCAP's YouTube content is intended to explore the art and craft of music in all of its facets -- from its creation and development to its use and enjoyment around the world. Any content we feature is intended to educate, highlight, support and celebrate our members and their music, and to help inspire and nurture other music creators in their own evolution as artists.
