Many songwriters and
lyricists are surprised to
learn that there are
people out there who
earn their living by
writing songs from 9 to
5. It may not be like the
famed Brill-building
songwriting houses of
the 1960’s where
songwriters like Neil
Diamond got their start,
but there are music
publishers, manage-
ment companies and
music producers that
represent artists and
bands and need to
supply them with a
steady flow of fresh,
new, original songs.
There are also agencies
and media companies
who employ creative
talent such as writers,
lyricists, musicians and
songwriters to create
original songs and
jingles for many of their
promotions.

Ever since the video era
began, the "image" of
Recording Artists has
become even more
important than who
actually wrote the hit
songs and lyrics that
the recording artists
sing, and this has
created a role for
songwriters who can
write material for other
artists and vocalists.
For this reason, artist
management
companies, production
companies and music
publishers will all at
times hire and employ
songwriters, lyricists
and co-writers to write
and create new, original
songs with hit potential
for their Recording
Artists.
