Musicians For Musicians
Musicians For Musicians is the musicians' advocacy foundation that engages in the fight for your rights as a musician. We are a collective of freelance music professionals uniting to advocate for FAIR PAY, respect, and equitable treatment for all musicians. MFM supports political actions leading to the amendment of the “Safe Harbor” provision (section 512) of the DMCA. And it backs the American Music Fairness Act, which demands that musicians be paid for AM/FM radio airplay.
In 2015, after much discussion, planning, and trial and error, MFM was founded. I am the first member, a former board member, former host and co-producer of MFM's podcasts MFM Speaks Out, and a main contributor of ideas and literary visions to doobeedoobeedoo.info, the flagship online magazine for MFM.

New York Composers Circle
The NEW YORK COMPOSERS CIRCLE is an artistic and educational organization dedicated to new music — its creation, its performance, and the development of new audiences. Jacob Goodman founded it in the spring of 2002 as an association of composers meeting regularly to play their music for one another. It soon became apparent that we had the artistry and commitment to present our music before an audience. In May 2003, the NYCC produced its first public concert at Saint Peter’s Church, featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Del Tredici and eleven of the NYCC’s original members. Its activities include concerts of new music (currently as many as eight each season), monthly salons at which composers play and discuss new works and works in progress for fellow members and guests and hear talks by various members of the new-music community, an annual competition open only to nonmembers, and a program of outreach concerts to benefit the broader community and to attract new concert audiences.
In 2019, Dawoud applied for membership and submitted his orchestral fantasia and two string quartets for consideration. He was accepted and has been a member ever since.
Musical Allies & Past Collaborators
Spaghetti Eastern Music is the solo project of NYC/Hudson Valley multi-instrumentalist Sal Cataldi.
It's where acid jazz- and world beat fired electric guitar instrumentals co-exist with ambient sound collages and heartfelt acoustic vocal ballads straight out of the Nick Drake playbook.
I enjoyedThree incredible years as featured soloist. Thanks for the ride!
