I'm a self-publishing songwriter actively looking for established artists to license and record my songs for major release. I have been writing songs for over 20 years, but have only recently begun to work on getting demos recorded. There are many more songs I'm working on that range from piano ballads to guitar rock, metal, pop and, to my surprise, even a country song. There are a ton of great songwriters out there, but when I listen to the radio, it seems to me that there are a lot of songs where the lyrics really aren't saying anything. In my humble opinion, the best songs are the ones that really use the music to pull the listener into the story of the song or the emotion the song is trying to convey. My songwriting philosophy is "Say something worth hearing".
