ASCAP has named its first round of panelists and special guests for its 2020 [ASCAP Experience](https://bitly.com/32tJwV2?ref=hypebot.com) April 1 – 3 in Los Angeles.

Formerly ASCAP “I Create Music” EXPO, ASCAP Chairman and President Paul Williams leads a lineup of more than 40 panels stacked with industry leaders, 89% of which are working songwriters and composers.

### “Words & Music in Six Seconds”

Grammy-winning artist, songwriter and producer Dan Wilson (“Closing Time,” Semisonic; “Someone Like You,” Adele) is teaming up with singer-songwriter Jason Mraz (“I’m Yours,” “I Won’t Give Up”), producer-songwriter Stefan Johnson (“Memories,” Maroon 5; “The Middle,” Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey) and singer-songwriter Steph Jones (“People You Know,” Selena Gomez, “Nightfall,” Little Big Town) to bring his popular “Words & Music in Six Seconds” Instagram series to life.
