What an incredible way to wrap up our ASCAP Foundation’s Musical Theatre Workshop!  
Chinese mythology, memory and queer legacy came together in the electrifying solo ritual musical Legendary, a life-affirming tale of queer joy and identity. ASCAP member and composer Cheeyang Ng’s show was moving, bold and one-of-a-kind!

Thank you to The Music Man Fund and everyone who joined us in conversation to support this special composer and new works in musical theatre. ✨

On this day in 1989 I tied with @springsteen for @ascap Songwriter of the Year ! 🎵🎹

Watching this montage and hearing Dick Clark and Casey Kasey sing my praises is still surreal 🥹

“Only in my Dreams” indeed !!!

Being a songwriter and bringing my unique musical point of view to all of you comtinues to be been my pride and joy ❤️

There are all kinds of world records I hold l, and it’s a weird time where we as artists shout out those types of fun facts directly to you … rattling off our own resumes. But, let’s just say I belong to some incredibly exclusive clubs as a female writer/producer who started as at super young age, encouraged and supported by my late badass Momager Diane who was one of the OG proponents of “Girl Power”! 🩶

You can look them up 😉

My team is primarily female today with @heathermooreny at the management helm with the likes of my attorney @monika.tashman my distribution partner Missi Callazzo @megaforcerecords , TeamDeb’s @eneffbuzz @jourdynk my book editor @natkid @rebeccashap heading up PR for big projects and on and on …Something about these strong women who had to forge a path in often male dominated lanes. They find us , we find them … and together we continue to evolve and create.

I even see my sister Karen in these clips as she was involved on both the label side and publishing at one point or another after interning her way up to an AnR position at major labels ! It was a family affair !

It’s the most amazing life that I still cannot believe I get to live !

Thank you @kthomlv for keeping the spotlight on songwriters here in Las Vegas and including me in the 20th Anniversary ofthe Composer’s Showcase just this past month. Highlighting original work is essential !!!

Thank you Debheads n @diamonddebheads for holding my songs close 😘

I just love that I grew up knowing that my pure vision was valuable and would resonate with music lovers if given the proper exposure. I therefore have always stopped at nothing to see it all the way through.I will continue to build things and to encourage you all to create.The world needs artists now more than ever !

As part of The ASCAP Foundation program Children Will Listen, these high schoolers experienced the power of live theater with Ragtime — a moving story about hope, change, and the pursuit of justice that feels just as relevant today. Seeing their reactions, hearing their conversations afterward, and watching them connect with the music and storytelling reminded us why arts access matters so deeply.

And what a moment to experience it: Ragtime was recently recognized with 11 Tony nominations bringing renewed attention to this unforgettable revived production! 🌟
