How to Become a Hit Songwriter or Lyric-Writer
|
As a songwriter or lyricist, you have
the enviable opportunity to earn your
living doing what you enjoy. Writing
songs is a very rewarding career, but
not everyone has the talent to write
songs & lyrics. In fact, most people
don’t. If you are one of the fortunate
few who have the talent to write
songs and lyrics, then you may be
just a few steps away from an exciting
career as a songwriter or lyricist.
But where to start? There are two key
paths to becoming a hit songwriter,
and the one you choose will depend
on your talents and songwriting goals.
You could either write and record your
own songs, or get your songs and
lyrics recorded by Recording Artists,
who could turn your songs and lyrics
into royalty checks for you. Your first
step to becoming a hit song writer is
to decide which path makes the most
sense for you. Ask yourself: are you
a singer-songwriter who enjoys
performing? Or do you prefer to write
songs, and let singers and recording
artists record them? Either way, as
the songwriter, you would earn the
songwriting royalties
Once you've decided which song-
writing career path to take, it's time
