Humm,
I would advise the songwriter to not give away everything just to get a cut. While everything can be negotiated know that your product is worth something. If a "Deal" sounds too good to be true it probably is. If you are giving something up be sure to get something in return. If someone wants a reduced rate rather than the full mechanical rate require payment up front, at least 50 percent. If a large release at least 10 percent up front. Don't be afrid to ask for something if they are asking for something.
I hope those Artists that are signing writing deals 3 years before they become Artists have been writing for more than 3 years. Otherwise they would be wise to look for outside songs. It takes time to write good songs.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
