“Making It”
When someone asks me how to “make it” as a singer /songwriter, my answer is usually, “If you can do anything else, do it!”
If the desire to write songs doesn’t burn in your soul, if you don’t have things you want to say that demand to be said, then don’t bother writing songs. If your desire is to become “rich and famous” then I implore you to stop right now. You’ll save yourself a lot of heartache.
But maybe you aren’t concerned about “making it” in music. Perhaps you are simply in pursuit of the joy of creation, the pleasure of sharing your creations with others, and the camaraderie of your fellow artists. Maybe you are looking for ways to encourage others in their songwriting and performing, ways to get valuable feedback on your work so that you can improve at your craft, and the chance to experience the thrill of creating something beautiful.
If that’s the case: go for it! I will do everything I can to help you.
