The founding member of Creed chronicled his questions, his quest for answers, and his dreams from faith to fatherhood in chart topping hits, “My Own Prison,” “Higher,” and “With Arms Wide Open,” which dominated the sonic landscape of the 90s-2000s. His soul-piercing lyrics backed by thundering rock riffs garnered a Grammy award, and countless other accolades of creativity and chart domination, not to mention legions of fans, who felt a kindred spirit in his honesty. Creed has sold over 40 million albums.Creed toured extensively through its reign atop rock music, but for Scott, the musical machinery to keep the show going meant some terrible personal cost, as he sunk into depths of depression, and periods of erratic behavior that was later to be revealed as undiagnosed bipolar disorder, prompting self-medication that turned to addictive behaviors. His creativity, passion, and desire to be transparent in his struggle never waned, and were evident on his debut solo album, The Great Divide (2005), the Full Circle album from a “rebirthed” Creed in 2009, several tours, his starkly revealing memoir, Sinner’s Creed (2012), and his highly-acclaimed second solo album, Proof of Life, in 2013, which brought Scott’s first number one song on the Christian charts.Scott’s spiral with addiction and bipolar disorder proved to be the most harrowing chapter of his life. With the love and support of his family, acceptance of his diagnosis, proper combinations of treatment and therapy, and a balanced, healthy lifestyle, grounded in faith, he has come through to the other side. He has a fresh purpose in performing, writing, and singing, to bring hope to “even one person” who is amidst the kind of struggle he knows. He is now sharing his stories with the world (recently featured in People Magazine and the Dr. Oz Show). Hope has always been a theme of his music, and now, that level of hope takes on a whole new dimension. Currently Scott resides in Boca Raton, FL with his wife, Jaclyn, and their three children.About RockHouse Live (www.rockhouselive.com)RockHouse Live is the premier boutique live music venue brand in the Memphis area, featuring the best in local, regional and national talent, as well as a full kitchen with killer food, a warm, inviting “living room” atmosphere, a full bar, and much more.

x close articleNew York, NY, Feb. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VNUE (OTC: VNUE), a live music technology company, has teamed withthe Fairness in Music Licensing Coalition (FMLC). The FMLC is a non-profit organization devoted to making public performance music agreements more transparent and fairer for small business. FMLC members wantto reform the outdated and substandard licensing process in the U.S. that is used by performance rights organizations (PROs) such as BMI, ASCAP and SESAC.Currently, PROs require thousands of small business owners across the country to pay for general public performance license agreements to avoid being sued by the PROs for playing live music, recorded music, karaoke or even televisions or radios in their establishments. Despite the PROs collecting billions of dollars in annual royalties, general public performance license revenues are not distributed to writers and publishers on the basis of what is actually played at venues,but instead by proportional calculations known only to the PROs.“It boils down to what many peoplein this industrycall ‘legalized extortion’,” says Zach Bair, CEO of VNUE. Bair is in the unique position of having owned venues in Memphis, and has also developed a deep understanding of rights managementand the music businessover the years as president of DiscLive, the pioneer in “instant” live recordings,and during his tenure at EMI/Capitol Records.“The venues want to support musicians, but the lawsuits can put them out of business. Additionally, the revenues don’t necessarily end up in the pockets of the songwriters anyway, due to opaque PRO royalty payout procedures,” says Bair.“Unfortunately,there are many problems with how these blanket licenses are calculated,” says Scott Ellis, FMLC Director and Executive Director of theMichigan Licensed Beverage Association (MLBA). “The entire process is opaque for both small business users and songwriters.”A major issue with the blanket agreementsfromthe music industrysideis that PROs have no way of tracking which songs are played at small business venues. Without accurate performance data, they cannot accurately apportion license fees to the correct songwriter.VNUE seeks to fill this void by developing patent-pending technology that would bring transparency to the public performance marketplace.This technology, called “MiC™” for “Music Identification Center,” will identify music that is played in venues, whether it is live, recorded, karaoke, or some other form of performance. It will track the plays and provide complete transparency for the content owners and PROs, as well as the business owners. This is something the industry currently lacks, and an area which Bair believes will ultimately help the PROs do their job better.“Virtually everything in music these days is digitally tracked,” says Bair. “When you play a song on a digital jukebox, it is logged; when the radio station plays a song; it is logged. This logging creates an accurate way to track plays andtherefore arelativelytransparent way for writers and publishers to know they are being properly compensated.MiCwill similarly identify the music played in venues, and track it much the same way. With MiC, songwriters and publishers will finally know exactly what is played in venues, and can be accurately compensated for those plays.”­“We believe that the three PROs together collect as much as $3B or more a year in total royalties on behalf of artists, with BMI and ASCAP collecting over $2B alone. Because of the licensing issues, there is probably a large amount of money is left on the table,” continues Bair. “VNUE plans to help capture this revenue with our with our patent-pending technology. We expect this to evolve into a $500M a year business. As the first mover with a true solution tracking music plays in businesses and venues, our goal is to own a large part of that market share.”VNUE plans to begin beta testing MiC later in the year.###About the FMLCThe Fairness in Music Licensing Coalition (FMLC) promotes and advances the interests of small businesses and organizations impacted by the current process for assessing music licensing fees.

We just don’t know. We have learned from our industry surveys that similar businesses ultimately pay very different music licensing fees. Technology that identifies songwriters will help us and help songwriters too.”“Our mission is to support small independent businesses and organizations that are impacted by music licensing,” said Amy Christie, FMLC Vice President of Government Affairs. “Opaque blanket licensing fees and harsh collection practices by Performing Rights Organizations, like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC impact our members every single day. We want to simplify, modernize and clarify the Copyright Act.”FMLC advocates for a music licensing system in which music users know what they are paying for and that fees go to the songwriters who deserve to be paid.###The Fairness in Music Licensing Coalition (FMLC) promotes and advances the interests of small businesses and organizations impacted by the current process for assessing music licensing fees.
