Hi Songsone,

Is there a place where we could go to listen to some of your melodies to get an idea of the type of music you compose? Have you had successes in the past as far as getting songs cut? Do you also perform yourself? Have you had placements in film and tv or in libraries? I am the Director of Development for an organization called FilmNashville www.filmnashville.org and Pres of the FilmNashville Foundation.

Tried to get your attention on the Shout box but you'd already disappeared. Noticed that this is your first post. If you hang around awhile...you will find that JPF is a great place to network...so not sure what sources you've been using to meet lyricists in the past. There are a lot of lyricists here who are a whole lot more action.

I have a catalog of over 3000 lyrics of my own that are in a variety of genres, mostly country but a few blues, bluegrass, gospel and inspirational. I don't do rap or hip hop...but do have a couple of reggae and Latin songs with a composer from Jamaica. In addition to my own lyrics, I have my husband's catalog of nearly 4000 lyrics. He received the JPF Lyricist of the Year Award a couple of years back.

The best places to peruse if you are looking for lyricists are the three Lyric forums here on JPF. Most of the folks who post their lyrics are looking for composers...so if something strikes a "chord" with you...just contact that person and say you are interested in doing music for it. A few lyricists are capable of writing to existing melodies.

I look forward to hearing from you in this regard.

Bobbie

They'll tell you success in the music biz is all about who you know...but the truth is...it's about who knows you.
