Song Pitching
Song pitching seems like a pretty straightforward task – but there is more to it than you think. I have had so many writers pitch me what they think is their “best songs” and get upset when they don’t get a reply or a cut. I hate to break it to you, but an artist or publisher doesn’t care what you think your best songs are. Especially if you’re pitching to a mainstream artist. They are looking for something that is ultimately going to sell.
Now that doesn’t mean you need to write and pitch music. But we all know that the commercial scene has a box. You can be a bit outside the box with your Song Pitching and that’s okay! It’s how music evolves. But sending a pitch that misses the mark entirely is only going to hurt your reputation as a writer.
