Instructions
Step 1
Improve yourself every day. Listen to music and songs that you truly enjoy. Analyze why this particular genre and not another is right for you. As a rule, personal tastes strongly influence the choice of style. Then just write about what really hurts you and what is really dear to you: love, nature, relationships, family, interesting stories from your life or the life of loved ones. You should always have a specific idea for a song, as writing it is much more difficult than just creating a rhyme. The more knowledge and experience you have, the better.
Step 2
Find an experienced composer or musician to work with. Record companies almost never study songs sent by mail. It's important for them to get a feel for whether your words and genre are appropriate for their label. This gives them a better chance of seeing your talent. If you do not have acquaintances in this area and you would not like to perform your own songs, then just hire a musician via the Internet. This is a very important point, as the performer must fit the genre and direction. You will also have to pay the record company to produce and release the song.
Step 3
Meet talented local singers. Young aspiring musicians need a songwriter much more than established and more experienced colleagues. Plus, you can build a long-term relationship with the performer that will bring you both good rewards in the future. Naturally, collect all the necessary documents for copyright protection. Seek advice from professional lawyers who can help you understand the legal law of such a relationship. This will save your activity from plagiarism.
Step 4
Take part in song contests. You can find information about them on special forums and communities on the Internet. If the performer of your song wins first or another prize, then this will be a great chance for you to meet famous musicians and producers with whom you can already build long-term professional relationships. All of this will help you sell more of your copy.
