Know Your Rights: Episode 1 with Rachael Chevlin

Composers: Episode 1 with Rachael Chevlin
Host: Breigh Hammel, studio composition major
Episode 1
Multi-genre songwriter Rachael Chevlin talks to us about the struggles of being a songwriter in 2021, royalties for songwriters, and copyright law.
When you were little and you drew your mother a picture did the teacher take it and never give it back? No, you made it so you owned it. “Know Your Rights” is a place to talk about all the elephants in the room from the corruption of the Billboard Hot 100, to greedy men in suits buying every song Taylor Swift has ever made. We will discuss music rights, copyright, and why EVERY artist should own all of their work.
