How To Become A Successful Song Writer

By Maria Morris


A lot of successful musicians who have won Grammys began by composing music for people who were already famous. For instance that is how the famous DJ Diplo began by writing songs for people like Usher. If you want to have a successful career as a song writer you must know that it is not always going to be perfect and your work will be rejected over and over.

There are those people who need to go through special training while others are born with their gift. In case you are a natural born poet music is easy to compose and all you need is the structure. However for someone who is passionate and needs skills they have to enroll in a school. Look for the perfect school that suits your needs.

Behind every hit music there is an inspiration therefore keep your inspiration live as possible. The things around you and the people you meet with affect what you write. Depending on the theme or the message you want in a song look for an environment that creates that atmosphere. Do not stress your inspiration if you are tired find time to relax.

If Adele did not connect emotionally with her lyrics she would not be famous today so you have to feel the music. Making it a hit song means that you do not filter your emotions. You do not get to do that in composing music. Compose what you feel in your heart if you want your target audience to feel it otherwise those lyrics will just be a waste of time.

Do not force anything if it is not flowing just let it be. In as much as it is a job and it is all about making money if you force it you fail and that will go down as the worst record ever. It does not have to rhyme as long as the story behind it is powerful. Instead of rhymes you can try to have repetitive words as they help in keeping the listen hooked.

Your goals should be so big that they scare you. Everyone wants to compose music for some of the biggest names in the industry therefore change the way you see things. Think of something different you can offer and have someone who can critic your work constantly. You need to be in a position to analyze bigger details when you listen to lyrics.

Perfecting the art is a journey and for some it is short while for others it is long. You do not know how long or short yours will be but you can cut it short by trying to be a perfectionist. People fail over and over so stop being hard on yourself. Work with others and learn something else from them. Use simple words in composing your lyrics.

A composer is someone willing to go to any level to make sure their weirdest dreams come to reality. These are the people who dreamt of working with Justin Bieber while they were younger. Becoming the next Sia means you dedicate years of hard work and sometimes no fruits. Make sure you are ready to handle anything the industry throws to you.
