Day - 278
Had a writing session with a really cool, young songwriter from PA, named Nathan Muchnick. We had a cool first session, just fleshed through a couple ideas and got started on something pretty interesting. We'll see where it goes. Also, spent some time working on another new song that I'm writing with a another new co-writer from Indiana named Bill Gue. Bill's a talented songwriter I met at one of Jason Blume's BMI workshops a couple summer's ago. He had a great idea and we're developing it via email.
As far as networking goes I've been doing more research on connecting with Disney/Pixar for "Heart On A String". I tried contacting Pixar directly today. Spoke with someone on the phone who gave me a company contact email. Honestly, didn't seem promising but worth a try. Also, spoke with J Fred Knobloch who has a bunch of calls out to Nashville reps shopping the 2 new songs. Keeping fingers crossed and saying prayers I land the elusive "first-cut".
Day - 279
This morning I spent some time getting song ideas together for a writing session this Saturday. I'm getting together with Canadian singer-songwriter, Kirk Penney. I met Kirk randomly while looking at Condo's on my last Nashville trip. We've stayed in touch and decided to get a co-writing session together. Looking forward to digging in!
Throwing more irons into the Disney fire today. These folks are HARD to connect with! I'm not giving up though. Today I contacted Disney Music Supervisor, Cheryl Foliart. Stay tuned :)
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!
