I heard back from Ryan Beuschel at ASCAP today. (Refer to day 106) He had an interesting critique about my song, "Half the Girl". He said, I change the main pronoun of the story too much from 'You' to 'She'. Now, this is something I did because I liked how it sounded poetically...however, for song pitching, it is very true. You need to keep the pronouns constant. Definitely food for thought.
Today was a super busy day so the only thing I was able to accomplish was a quick submission to a MusicXray listing. I submitted my song "Caroline". Here's what the listing said...
Epic Records A&R rep Jake Livingston is looking for song starts, tracks, hooks, lyrics, full songs, anything... looking for songs to place on other artists records, must have memorable chorus, familiar production with a twist, looking for fresh hit songs!!! Country, urban, dance, pop, rock, electro, guitar driven rock songs, piano driven ballads, uptempo preferred.
CHAPTER 2: NASHVILLE - The purpose of this blog is to network with at least 1 music industry professional every business day for 365 days with the goal of "making it" as a songwriter/recording artist. Below I will document my efforts, successes, failures and lessons learned daily. Stay tuned!
