I've travelled to Nashville and LA to learn as much as I could about songwriting. I belong to SONGU, NSAI, TAXI, broadjam, myspace, etc., but I need someone who can give me individual mentoring because my songs are obviously not resonating with anyone beyond friends and family. I 'play' piano and guitar (enough to write and maybe perform live.) I'm affiliated with BMI and have about 50 songs in my catalogue. I'm not signed and I don't have a plugger or an agent. I just need someone to look at my stuff and say, okay pumpkin, here is what you need to do... If you're that person, hit me at christineathon@yahoo.com. THANK YOU!!!!
PS if you know someone, or if you have advice, I welcome that too.

I think that your on the right path being affiliated with these organizations. From my experience as a songwriter, you just don't know what will and won't work. I think that if you could get some other musicians and your everyday people involved and see what there opinions are of your songs and maybe try to experiment like that. I know from my experience in studio that two heads or better than one. Thereare so many factures involved with songwriting that you should keep in mind that it's a skill that comes from your heart and is heard in a different way. Sometimes it hard to sell that. The problem in today's music is that it's all about the look and not about the music anymore. But, I can tell you that if you decide to put your music on the market try to market yourself as a performer as well. It's a start that could be helpful in the future. If you have any more questions you can email me at curleyqprod@yahoo.com. Good luck!!!
