John Titta, Longtime ASCAP Executive and Songwriter Advocate, Dies
John Titta, a longtime ASCAP executive and songwriter advocate, is dead. He worked with acts including Carole King, Lou Reed, Bon Jovi and Pearl Jam.
Sam Hollander also expressed his appreciation, writing on Facebook, “John was one of the genuinely good guys in this layered industry—a real advocate for songwriters & artists back when music was more than just algorithms. Fellow board member and Universal Music Publishing Group North America president Evan Lamberg tells Billboard, “John’s love of people, artists and songwriters is unmatched. When a luminary would die, most recently songwriters JD Souther and Kris Kristofferson and comedian Bob Newhart, he would endearingly post a photo of himself with the deceased and share a warm, personal memory on social media.
