Dunno about Nashville,and to be quite honest i don't really care
Iam about as far away from Nashville as you are ever going to get,and geography certainly aint gonna stop me writing,as i said on a previous post, the music centre of the world aint a southern state in the U S of A....you know, people in Europe, Asia ,and the Far East listen to, and buy music as well..lol....not to mention, the punters that come to my gigs and buy my CD's..but back to the original question.."how to get a cut my a major artist?"..in simple terms it is nearly mission impossible..if you are going to approach your talent in writing from that angle..then start howling at the moon between writing songs....there has been a lot of good solid advice given on this thread,and it is bang on,but ALSO,..you need to don a few heads in this business and your writing head is only one of them...networking,contacts,pestering,determination,self-promotion
and that is only a few to get on with...basically the writing part in the main, is the easiest part of the jigsaw....BUT..if you have the talent as a Songwriter...and a total 110% belief in your ability,and this gnawing desire inside you to get there,and that may also include climbing over a few bodies to achieve it..well that is basically what the guys up at the front of the queue have done before you..nobody ever said it was easy...but they all probably agree in the end it was worth it..so it really boils down to ruthless determination,and hopefully meet some punters along the way that can help cut your journey time..in achieving your goals ,dreams, and aspirations...Terry Moore..
