For our March and April meetings, the AIMP will offer to our creative members the unique opportunity to craft a song for a few significant artists currently seeking new material.  To the others, it will be an opportunity to learn how the creative side of the business works.

At our first meeting on March 25th, writers who wish to submit their work will attend the initial intake meeting to hear music from the artist(s) in question, and receive a creative brief from Richard Stumpf, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Creative from Cherry Lane Music. This meeting will be open to anyone who wishes to attend. The participants will  then submit songs to Richard no later than April 15th, two weeks prior to the second meeting to be held on April 29th.  Richard and his associates will filter the submissions to a top list of songs that would potentially work. The writers of those top songs will be the special guests at the second, follow-up session where the A&Rs will critique their submissions.  Both sessions will also be open to others who care to learn about this process.

We will also hear from these creatives about their experience pitching label A&R's:
