Musicians should not limit themselves to local performances alone.
The advice from Chief Executive Officer of the Copyright Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Incorporated, Dr. Erica Smith.
She says focusing on Crop Over only, limits an artiste.
Dr. Smith adds that exposure to other genres helps creativity.
She was speaking during the opening ceremony of a week-long International Songwriting Camp, held in collaboration with the National Cultural Foundation.
Dr. Smith urges members to include COSCAP in any correspondence where music is shared, to keep its database, which is used for the distribution of royalties, updated.
