I don't get any of that. Why would anybody do this 5/95% business? Are their five writers on the song? Geez, why does this have to be so hard. It is a demo. Toss out ALL the stuff about making money. forget it. You are not going to make any money. Period.

Act as if no money will ever be made and it is going to pitch and promote your sister as a writer. then would she do it. The music business HAS to be done like that. Each writer has to act as if they will never make a dime (because they probably won't) and then find out how important it is to them to get a demo.

We write and record songs for the chance and creative outlet. The whole money thing is so hard to pin down I would just rather people left that out completely. You act as if you never make a dime and if you do you are pleasently surprised. But if you do not have a hit single that breaks the top 30, you will never make enough money to pay for the cost of the demo.

Tell her that and see what she says. That is the honest to God truth.
