Scammers
Broadjam.com is just another scam that tells lies that they (actually it's a jerk doing "business" out of his small apartment in Madison, Wisconsin) will "get your music in front of publishers." This is NOT true!
Acutally, this so-called "business" called Broadjam.com is just a place some jerk is ripping off musicians that are tying to get their music in front of producers.
Broadjam.com is a "business" that just floats barely under the guideline of fraud because the "Owner, " Roy Elkins, states that he "gets your music in the hands of producers." That is not truthful! This slob just "tries" to get producers to listen to your music. You are not going to get one single piece of your music heard by anyone other than this jerk!
Roy Elkins does NOT have any more "connection" than you most likely do. He's just trying to make money from sucking off of your hard work!
There are many music scams like Broadjam.com
Another one in particular is Taxi.com
Boy do they feed you a line of sh*!
First, like all these music scams, they want to pay $300.00 to "join" because "that's surely less than a plane ticket to Nashville." What's that supposed to mean? Oh wait, I guess it's some mumbo-jumbo words that "help you to see the light." NOT! That's not all either: Taxi.com tells you that you must pay $5.00 for each track that you submit because that way they'll "know that you are serious" about sending them your music.
Boy, what a line of ### that is! Broadjam.com is the same way: "Just send in your best for "All the Producers" out there "Just waiting" for your music to be played in "Major Movies" and with "Major Labels like Sony and RCA." Just another line of Bullsh*!
What about ASCAP? How is ASCAP involved with this scam? Simple: It's allowed by an untruthful scammer webmaster by the name of Mark Palermo! This wise-guy would sell out his own mother for a few pennies! Nonetheless, this smart-alec has the "power" from ASCAP to have this ripoff "business" called Broadjam.com to be a "partner" with the "ASCAP Community." This cheat named Roy Elkins who "owns" Broadjam.com is not a "partner, " he's just a ### scammer that Mark Palermo bought into. Well, actually, Palermo is a wise-guy, big mouth too, so he most likely is part of this scam too!
The ASCAP Community used to be a fun place to upload your music and have other ASCAP members rate your music and post comments. Now this wise-guy Palermo makes it where you are FORCED to JOIN Broadjam.com to "Vote on other people's music." Why? Because Mark Palermo and ASCAP are getting some kind of kick-back from this scammer at Broadjam.com!
Do yourself a favor: Don't send anything whatsoever to this lying scammer at Broadjam.com! If you're an ASCAP member, do not let Mark Palermo force you to "join" Broadjam.com just to "rate other people's music." He's a scammer just like Roy Elkins!
Tell ASCAP that you want Mark Palermo removed from the position of webmaster! Tell ASCAP that we are tired of his wise-guy remarks and attitudes! Tell ASCAP we are tired of Mark Palermo treating us like dirt under his feet!
If we ASCAP members can't get rid of Mark Palermo, then consider leaving ASCAP and joining BMI or SESAC!
Let's find out what's more important to ASCAP: The members, or this this smart-alec Mark Palermo that acts like another Hitler!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
My name is Mike Huberty and I'm the manager of Artist Services here at Broadjam. We appreciate your feedback, but I can guarantee you #1 that we do business out of an office and not a small apartment and #2 that many of Broadjam's members sign licensing and publishing deals based on our opportunities.

Steals Your Money and Dreams
Broadjam.com is a phony scam "Music" website! The scammer that "Owns" this so-called "Music Site" is Roy Elkins.
This loser is a cheap scammer that runs his "business" out of his cheap little apartment in Madison, Wisconsin.
Here's what the scam at Broadjam.com entails:
The "CEO" (Brother, what a joke, it should be CS for Chief Scammer) Roy Elkins makes big claims that he can get your music in front of "Big Music Producers." That, is a bold face lie!
What this loser really does is work off a sheet that he bought for a few bucks, and one that anyone else can buy, if they care to waste the money, (including many other scammers like Taxi.com) that "Lists" all the "Big Music Producers" that are "Searching" for music by folks that have not been published!
This scammer Roy Elkins tells musicians that he can in fact get their music "Heard" by these so-called "Big Producers." What a crock! And, he gouges these people for hundreds of dollars! He robs people of their money, their hopes, and their dreams!
These music producers are not interested in musicians that are not known! Nonetheless, Roy Elkins tells these trusting people that "He's different. He can get their music in major motion pictures, commercials, television programs, and a big list of other lies.
Roy Elkins also runs other scams that involve "Contests" and other major scams to sucker hopeful musicians into his den of thieves!
Recently, this swindler Roy Elkins hooked-up with ASCAP, (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) to peddle his lies to the members, which account for over 300, 000 people. ASCAP has a "Community" website, (Actually a Social Networking Site) where musicians and others can upload most anything. HOWEVER, now that this bum Roy Elkins has teamed-up with Mark Palermo, of ASCAP, the "Moderator, " members are forced to "Join Broadjam.com" just to rate other people's music!
Of course, Mark Palermo of ASCAP lies and tells members by message board posts that Broadjam.com is "Legit." Yep, I guess it's easy to say it's "Legit" when Palermo is getting a money kick-back from this scam artist Roy Elkins!
ASCAP should be sued for false advertising! ASCAP should have to pay each person that is forced to join Broadjam.com a fee for allowing such a scam to be on their site! However, that's not going to happen because ASCAP will just deny that Broadjam.com is a scam! Also, Mark Palermo, the "Moderator" on ASCAP's "Social Networking" site is a lawyer, and we all know how "Honest, and trustworthy lawyers are."
For all ASCAP members that are reading this scam report: You need to band together and force the big-wigs at ASCAP to get rid of Broadjam.com and Mark Palermo for allowing this dirty scam to be part of the "Social Networking Site!" Also, keep reporting ASCAP and Broadjam.com to the Better Business Bureau! Post messages in every place you can think of about the scam that Broadjam.com is pulling.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
This is Mike Huberty from Artist Services at Broadjam. Because you didn't actually enter the contest through Broadjam, but at the IMSTA FESTA in Chicago itself, then you weren't automatically sent an update through Broadjam when the final winner was announced. The IMSTA website had the final winner, Adam Avery, listed on their Songwriting Contest page - http://www.imsta.org/songwritingcontest2015.php
All the finalists are listed on this page, including yourself, from the Chicago event - http://www.imsta.org/songwritingcontest2015.php#gpm1_3
Customer Service acknowledged talking to you about trying to fulfill your prize. They were waiting on an answer from you on whether or not you needed a Mac or PC version of the software. For more questions, just contact us at customerservice@broadjam.com and we'll point you in the right direction to get your prizes fulfilled from IMSTA.
Thanks for your patience and please contact us directly in the future and we're happy to help,

I upgraded my membership 2 days ago and I cannot get , y submissions to go through!
I tried to cancel the membership but BJ isn't recognizing my request.
What should I do?
@[censored]Broadjam Hey this is Mike again. Yeah you are pretty right. I just got fired from them and It's so true. I have worked there and collected my paycheck for too long and not said anything. I was covering it all up and I feel like an idiot. I myself have tried on there for years to get my music licensed and never was successful. I'm sorry to all those musicians we tricked.
Wow, some people need something better to do with their time. Although I’m flattered someone would choose to impersonate me! Anyway, this is Mike from Broadjam, I haven’t been fired or quit. Feel free to email me anytime at mike.huberty@broadjam - we’re still working with libraries, publishers, etc... and developing new opportunities and promotional tools for independent artists.
BroadJam sucks! Do not use their site! If this were 2000 I would maybe suggest using it, when they were in their prime, but the last 5 years it has gone downhill. The owner has publicly stated that they cannot keep the site running and have been in the red for years. This is very clear by the outdated website. They put up fake "opportunities" for people to "submit" to and then your song never even gets played by the provider and about 98% of the time they send a default message saying something along the lines of "We decided to go with an artist outside of Broadjam." Believe me, this is not me being bitter for not being chosen. I have had many placements outside of Broadjam and have been somewhat successful in the music business on a small scale. Save your money and keep grinding.
Hi, this is Mike from Broadjam. I work with the publishers, song pluggers, and music supervisors on Broadjam and am happy to answer any questions you might have. Please let me know which opportunities you have submitted to where your song hasn't been listened to and I'll check on it and I can get you in touch with the provider as well if you have questions about it. We keep track of each listing in the system and double check to make sure every artist gets heard.
Sometimes providers can't find music that works from the submissions they get on Broadjam. But all the providers we work with select Broadjam artists for a majority of their listings. I'm not sure where you heard Roy "publicly state" that we cannot keep the site running, but there's thousands of artists and dozens of providers that login every day to listen to music, select it for contracts and pitches, and communicate with each other.
If you've had lots of placements, that's awesome. We have had many artists get their first publishing contract, make their first contact with a music supervisor, get their first song in a TV show, etc... with the connections they make through Broadjam.
Anyone with questions, feel free to email me at mike@broadjam.com or call our customer service at (608) 616-9539. We're happy to help.
I am marley weathers and I won the Chicago finalist song writing competition and I moved on to be ONE OF THE FINAL FOUR finalist I was promised a sony mastering programs and a lot of other prizes for winning Chicago that I have not received. BroadJam and Imsta festa joined for a song writing contest with a prize to Santorini. dec 15 give or take I received an email TO WRITE A SONG TO AN ISLAND IN GREECE FOR A TRIP TO SANTORINI. WELL I WROTE THE SONG AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVE NOTICE OR INFORMATION ON WHO WON THE CONTEST. THEY WERE GOING TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS IN THE NAMM SHOW IN JANUARY IT IS NOT MARCH AND NO REPLYS. THE WINNER WAS GOING TO BE ELEGIBLE TO A SONG WRITING CAMP ALL PAID FOR BROADJAM AND IMSTA FESTA. THE CAMP STARTED IN THE BEGINNING OF MARCH. I EMAILED BROADJAM TWICE EVEN CALLED AND SPOKE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE HE ASSURED ME HE WAS GOING TO REPLY WITHIN DAYS AND ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE REST OF THE WRITERS AND MAKE A CLAIM. SONGS WRITERS ALSO HAVE LIFES AND GOALS AND DESERVE RESPECT AS WELL.
Hey I've been a member of Broadjam and have had some music placement but nothing big. Some winning selections I didn't agree with but that's how things go. I've also won a few competitions and won some gear so it's not fair so slam them. The only thing I don't like is when they want music for film or video but don't show any video sample, scoring is very precise work, 1 wrong chord can throw off the mood needed and you won't be selected. I'm very sure I could have had more placements if providers had video clips available so I can see if my music will match properly or not. It's a bit depressing when you're not selected and you know the music is pretty good, but one should look at it as likely a need to improve one's work.
My most recent experience (a day ago) with Broadjam:
The description from the "Opportunity Provider": "TV show looking for music. Music needs to be upbeat and energetic. "
Not much specific information, is'nt it?
When the selection process was over, all what the provider had to say was, that he did not find anything what he was looking for..
I have asked Broadjam about these kind of feedbacks earlier. The reply I got was, that indeed, some of the providers do not know exactly what they are looking for until they hearing it. Considering that hundreds of musicians are uploading and PAY for uploading for such opportunities, this is a very weak explonations.
It is true that this is a very subjective field, with not so many specific criterias. But there are quite a few criterias which could be explained, but for that one needs to know something about music, and that comes either from talent or education or ideally both. But definitely, descriptions something like, "energetic", or "sad song" or "song which puts you in the mood" etc.. are very amateur. I have read several comments about how many musicians-and bad musicians- are submitting, which might be true. But nobody actually speaks about the validity-or invalidity-of the people who are making the decisions.
There can be endless debates about these issues and the final result will be always that this is how music world works. But in that case it should not have any legal opportunity for companies like Broadjam -by taking advantage of this setting-collecting money from the most vulnerable participants of the game.
I am not in the position to decide whether Broadjam, and companies like Broadjam are a spam or not. But more I see how they work more I am convinced that the system is wrong.
Just try to imagine the same system in a -let's say- restaurant business. In that setting the musicians are the restaurant owners, the costumers are the "opportunity providers". They call you and the order sounds somehow like this: " i would like to have something which tastes a little bit like apple pie, a little bit like cat fish and it needs to be a chicken...When you deliver the meal, the costumer has the right to say: " Sorry this is not quite what I had in mind, so i am not paying for it...And the bigest problem is that you, as the restaurant owner have to pay for a company which delivers you such orders. On the top of all, I am not convinced, that the persons how are making the decisions, have any sence of taste, not to mention qualifications.
I know, this is a so called art, with no specific or if so, than with very subjective criterias, But, yet, can anyone imagine the same or even just the similar way of dealing with any business in any other area? Musicians are nowadays so vulnerable that it is unavoidable not to take advantage of them.
Wow. Right from the start, you can tell this so called musician is lacking talent and the dignity or intelligence to present a case. He's clearly venting like some whining kid on a playground. If you have to begin any complaint, or argument, or case with school boy name-calling...you've lost. You're just that loud cry baby throwing a tantrum in Walmart. Kick and scream while flailing on the floor all you want. A real writer, musician knows discouragement and works thru it. Instead of waiting for someone to give you a career because you paid $5 to have your masterpiece be the next number one song...LOOK, really look at your material. Is it recorded shabbily? Is it boring, or is it innovative and fresh.
I've been using Broadjam for at least 3.5 yrs. Have not landed a placement to date. But I continually look at who is...reevaluate my songs after the opportunity closes, and ask if I can be presenting better material? Better recordings and mixes...better content...submit to more appropriate opportunities...etc. I have a feeling if this sophomoric name-calling complainer was honest with himself, he'd admit that there is more work to do.
Just wanted to add another thought on this issue. This is regarding the number of plays. It reminds me of Youtube when one purchases fake views. Not many or no comments (unless of course you buy them). I found the number of plays on Broadjam disproportionate with the comments and ratings. Granted I did get a precious few of those from real plays.
This may be speculation and an educated guess but here is my experience with Broadjam. After posting featured tunes for six or seven weeks I noticed a pattern. The ratio of the views and actual plays were nearly always the same. Perhaps there is some software inflating the numbers mixed in with the real plays to keep the customers coming back for more. I've been around the block a number of times and after seven weeks I would expect maybe, if I am lucking, to get a dozen plays. But here I got over 1200. Perhaps my music sucks big time so the inflated numbers does jump out at me. Given that it would be hard to believe anything they do is legit. Perhaps Broadjam needs to be correctly audited.

I don't think the original poster understands the term 'exclusive' ... Publishing would only be retained for that specific application, as the work title would be renamed to a NEW piece, allowing PMG to collect publishing for THAT newly-titled work. Non-exlcusive means that the copyright holder of the original work can continue to submit that work to other libraries for other usage.
