after professional in the music industry, working as a disc
jockey, remix consultant, music producer, and more. Currently
the president of Jellybean Music Group, John “Jellybean”
Benitez also keeps in touch with the industry through his
professional memberships, such as the American Federation
of Musicians.
The American Federation of Musicians (AFM) is a professional
organization and union for musicians in the United States and
Canada. Founded in 1896, the association has been
responsible for many of the laws regarding royalties and fair
wages for musicians.

 Today, the organization supports over 80,000 members and is
still highly involved in musician’s working rights advocacy
through its programs, such as TEMPO.
TEMPO (Taskforce for Employment of Musicians Promotional
Organization) is one of AFM’s recent efforts working towards
fair compensation for musicians, among other goals. The
group is comprised of AFM musicians who wish to support
TEMPO’s advocacy efforts or work more directly to achieve
governmental progress. Though fair compensation is a major
concern of the group, TEMPO also seeks to achieve more
educational funding for musicians, improved travel regulations,
stronger pensions for the profession, and increased NEA
funding for the arts.
