Bill, yes that is correct, no artist wants your songs, or mine, or anyone elses for that matter.

When the talent started writing and performing their own material in a big way, lets say 50 years ago ,they soon realised that their income more than doubled.

When a label can get a top notch act that can sing, has great stage presence, can dance, and write and perform their own material, why should they bother bringing in outside writers ?

There are thousands of such acts that can do it all, and it is these acts that are making it up the entertainment ladder.

I'm not saying give up, I'm simply stating that the "write and pitch" approach is a very very small part of the overall entertainment industry in the modern world.
