Blake Morgan, singer-songwriter, music producer, and activist, joins Michael Brandvold and Jay Gilbert to discuss the #IRespectMusic campaign and efforts to support The American Music Fairness Act.

Blake talks about how middle-class musicians are not being paid fairly for their work including the fact that U.S. radio stations do not pay artists for airplay.

The U.S., Iran, China and North Korea are the only countries where artists aren’t paid for airplay.
