Stated Eddie Phoon, Event Director, USA Songwriting Competition, “It is great to have Audio-Technica sponsoring the USA Songwriting Competition for the past 11 years – they have been one of our longest sponsors. Their microphones are not just world-famous, but world-class, and musicians love seeing A-T as one of the official sponsors.
“A-T has always supported songwriters and musicians, and having them supply their products for the winners is a great prize for any musician. We look forward to continuing our work with A-T in the future as they have truly become a partner to the entire USA Songwriting Competition.”
