We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jerzy Przybylski. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jerzy below.
Jerzy, appreciate you joining us today. Are you happier as a creative? Do you sometimes think about what it would be like to just have a regular job? Can you talk to us about how you think through these emotions?
ASCAP Membership….
This is an interesting story…As you know is not easy be a full member of ASCAP..Songs or Music has to be played by Major Radio Stations…in order to do that one has to send songs to programs directors with hope that they will use them in Radio rotation…this is almost impossible for un publish artist. They almost never gave a permission to send some materials…take me 3 years to found a Christian Organization which was sending Songs to Christian Broadcasters around the World.. they like some of my music which has been played all over and they always send me statistics how my songs are performing…after 6 months or so I collected statistics with proof where my music was played.. and ASCAP ground me Full Membership. Remember you will not get a ASCAP membership without Major Radio plays…and The Radio will not take any music to be use if one is not ASCAP Member.. classic.. catch 22
Jerzy, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

How did you build your audience on social media?
Sometime I was Performing sick… but The Show must go on…..all take 100% + dedication…. Supporting Artist..easy…order Albums… download music…gave a tip sometime…
All I will say.. that The Road is different for everyone… and most of time we must learn specially now.. sometime ago was much better…
Yes a Legacy…some music.. songs… which people will listen in the future…..
Just be yourself and do not pretend…
I love to see a Smiling or sad faces of people… it mean they take my music to theirs hearts…
All I will say Nothing is easy.. specially at the times like now..you have to love what you do and always do your best….
One have to be Artist…Artists are different kind off people…for someone outside we look sometime like a crazy… hahaha..
I just use FB…. N1M Music pages to promote my music and songs…as a one person company there is not to much time for a social media.. after all…Practice.. writing and yes and administrative work ( phone calls…. invoices etc)
I was born in Poland… come to USA and work full time jobs to support my family and in spare time I was composing Music and write songs..some years pass.. and after become Full Member of ASCAP and a Representative for International Singers Songwriters Association (ISSA)…become a little easier… hahaha.. any how Im 100% dedicated to My craft.. and I really enjoy Life Performing..
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Bad Luck…
Long time ago I recorded Song “Touch The Sky”…is about a plane crash…I send it to the Publisher and He lost it so when the Crash Happen was to late to release it…
One day I wrote a Christmas song and a Big Name Singer record it as a demo…well I was sure that my song will be on His Christmas Album.. but turn out other way..well the record company as me to change the lyric .. ( they say that I use to many time Jesus Name..) me and my Big Name Friend work all night trying to change.. but nothing was working.. so my song was not included on His Album.
Not to long ago I was Performing in Bethlehem PA…and one day around 7 Pm PA time I got a phone call from Hollywood Studio about to participate in TV Commercial.. they will also use my music…the problem was that the shot will be hold next day at 8 Am..so good luck to come back to California in less that 12 hr…yes I miss a big opportunity..
