Heard back from Jason Blume this morning...just touching base. We're gearing up for pitching "20/20" to Rascal Flatts and we may do a couple re-writes before we do. Re-writes are, most of the time, an inevitable process that songwriter's undertake to make a song as best as it can possibly be. I've heard stories from writers who have re-written a song 10 times before it got cut or became a hit! So, I spoke with Jason and we're going to try to give "20/20" a facelift. :)
Speaking of Jason Blume, he's holding a workshop/publisher pitch today in Nashville. The guest publisher is Alex Heddle, creative director of Love Monkey Music. Since I'm in New Jersey and not able to attend, this morning I reached out to Alex via email. I wrote Alex, not pitching a song, but asking for his creative help in development. Basically, I asked if he could take a listen to some of my top material and if he digs it, set me up with one of his writers for a co-write. I feel like this approach is a less obtrusive way to get to know someone and for them to get to know me. We'll see!
Have a great day!
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!
