My partner and I have written close to nine songs for the past two years as a band. Things have not ended well, and we are having disagreements on song rights. But one issue i was told is that as a writer of the songs I have a right to perform these songs in public and receive compensation. It would be under a different band name and I will report all the songs performed to ASCAP. He says he has the right to not allow me to perform these songs. Is this true?
