In our ongoing pursuit to provide the highest standards of service and convenience for our participants, the Fund is proud to announce the debut of our new and vastly improved website. It has all the features of our previous website and more.
With a slick new look and layout, plenty of user-friendly features and easy access to information important to both musicians and producers, we’re sure that our new website will be an invaluable tool for our participants.
Our new home page was designed with you, the user, in mind. The navigation bar on the left side of the page is organized to provide easy access to all the other pages on the website. In addition, there are quick links for both Musicians Resources and Producers Resources in the body of the home page.
Participants
are still required to register with the Fund in order to have full
access to all the features of the website, including access to your
personal account information. As with the old website, participants
who haven’t registered yet can do so by following the simple,
two-step process. Those who are already registered to access the Private
Area on the old website do not need to sign up again. Simply enter
your existing username and password in the log-in fields under the
navigation bar and you’re in!
The
navigation bar has links to all destinations in the Fund website
and
remains on every page so it's always there when you need it.
The Musicians Resources area is organized to provide easy access to important information for our participants. Here’s a quick look at all the Musicians Resources.
