JPF Home Page Forums General Messages Songwriter Message Forum Getting cut by a major artist

I live outside the USA, let alone Nashville, I live on the outskirts of Canada, so I don't stand much of a chance. But still I keep trying. In the past month I've had request for seven songs, no eight songs, to be sent to them. They may never be recorded, but they heard them on the net and liked them and asked me to send by CD or by email, so I did or will do. Two went to England, one to Texas, four will be going to California, and one to be emailed, not sure of location. One, I know will not be recorded, he wants to sing it in church, I want it heard by whomever will be there that day, two more may never be recorded commercially, but you never know, the rest will be recorded, or at least I hope so, as an artist demo or commercial indie release. These may never earn me any real money but you never know where these songs might be heard and by whom, and you never know which indie artist will be the next major. These songs are doing me no good sitting at home, so send them out to try their wings.

I think if I was in Nashville, I'd have a better chance of getting cuts, but we all can't live in Nashville. My roots are too deep here to leave at this stage of my life. Keep plugging away and trust in God, things will be as they should be. Patients is a virtue.
