can you sing copyrighted material for profit without getting in trouble?

for example, I want to sing at a event for profit, do I need to get the song writer's permission to sing that song for profit at the event?

You either get the necessary license or you make sure your employer has the proper license for your public performance.

You need to license performance rights through ASCAP, BMI or SESAC.
