ascap or bmi?

Hi,

I am workin on a long-distance project with a guy from L.A. (im from Canada) and I was posed with the question of whether or not I am ASCAP or BMI.

Im a 17 year old unsinged producer.

First of all, what is ASCAP and BMI and second of all, would I fit in either one?

ASCAP is a membership association of U.S. composers, songwriters, lyricists, and music publishers of every kind of music.

BMI is a similar organization..

Unless you are actively making music that is being commercially released it's probably not something you need.
