British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BASCA is a music organization that exists to support and protect the artistic, professional, commercial and copyright interests of songwriters, lyricists and composers of all genres of music and to celebrate and encourage excellence in British music writing.

The British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) is the voice for music writers. BASCA campaigns in the UK, Europe and throughout the world.

So that BASCA may continue to do this, it is important that BASCA can count the best songwriting and composing talent amongst its members. Whilst BASCA are well known for putting on the British Composer Awards, the Gold Badge Awards and The Ivors every year, there is far more to BASCA than these events.

BASCA is the independent association representing music writers in all genres, from songwriting, through to media, contemporary classical and jazz. BASCA is entirely self-funded and relies on the continuing support of our members to carry on our work.

BASCA can trace its history back over 65 years. Members include Sir Paul McCartney, Dizzee Rascal, Michael Nyman, Gary Barlow, David Arnold, Sir Elton John, Imogen Heap, Howard Goodall, John Powell, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Kate Bush, Chris Martin, and many more.
