Where can i get my song lyrics noticed?
To enter these careers, one must first obtain specific and proper training. Songwriting is no different. People are not born as hit songwriters. Some emerging songwriters choose to take composition and arranging classes at colleges and universities. .The point is that you need real training to develop your craft. And if you can get it from professionals, that’s how you’ll learn the quickest. There are many ways to educate yourself on the craft of songwriting and it will take a few years, not a few months or a few songs. To graduate from school, you must first pass the final exam. In the same way, as you learn different writing techniques, have your songs reviewed and “graded” by someone schooled in the craft and business of songwriting. Through seminars, workshops, classes, mentorships and even online, you can have your songs critiqued by professional writers and publishers. You may choose to move your home to one of different cities like mumbai etc, making networking (and work) much more achievable. But online, you can network nationally and internationally every day of the week. If you have the talent, then being connected with the right people and the right projects is all you need to land work, and better work. You’ll need to tailor your demo disc to relate specifically to the opportunities you’re seeking. This is where you’ll need to spend some money. Demos must be absolutely great. Unless you’re an accomplished producer, then don’t try to produce them yourself. Same goes for singing.Two or three great demos may be all you need to get on your way.Now it’s time to live that dream you’ve always had – writing for the big artist. Be persistent, be confident and live your dream!!! All the best !!!...
How do you get your song lyrics discovered as an amateur songwriter?
The best way to get discovered as a pure songwriter is to get artists and or demo singers to record your material. Most songwriters these days are pretty savvy with protools, logic or other applications where they can lay down their ideas.If you need to find a community of artists to collaborate with you can always start by joining The Recording Artists Guild - RAG - Connections, Creation, Commerce and downloading the RAG app.Here you be able to meet both new and established artists and producers in every genre.The next thing very important thing is to get your music heard. RAG can help you with that part too.
Where can I sell my own lyrics of my own songs?
Hi! I agree very much with both comments. I’ve been in the songwriting and music publishing business’ for over a decade and I don’t know of any instances where someone’s lyrics were “sold.” If you’re simply interested in selling your lyrics as is, as John Pape said…that’s technically poetry…but you can absolutely try to do that!If you’re more interested in having your lyrics used in a song(s), I would recommend co writing. I have many friends who only write lyrics that make a fine living as songwriters! Here’s a link to a story on Liz Rose. She is a lyricist (doesn’t play an instrument) and co-worte almost every song on Taylor Swift’s first album!The Story of Liz Rose… Inspiring!!!How to find co-writers…that’s a whole different topic. Go to singer/songwriter nights at local venues, join songwriting organizations, etc.I hope this was helpful - good luck!
