Selling Your Country Songs
Most rock, hip hop, rap and alternative singers record their own songs, but the market in country music has more openings for original tunes and lyrics.
Many of the most popular country singers at the top of the charts co-write their songs. So, if you have great original titles and stories, that, plus a strong marketer like me, could be the key.
Country Songwriting
Country song lyrics are critically important - much more so than in rock and hip hop where the rhythm rules and it's mostly about the sound rather than the song. In country songs, the record is built around the song. So the words and music have to be strong enough on their own - sung a cappella - to warrant the effort to make a good record.
In country music, it's all about the song. Period.
The royalties from a number one song can be as much as $250,000 a week, every week it's number one, plus $250,000 a year, every year after that, for your whole life plus 70 years, which is the duration of the copyright. Pretty nice payday? You bet.
While I can’t guarantee that your songs will earn that much, I’ve seen the checks.
