How To Write Lyrics

Nathan Said:

I write Christian lyrics and put vocal melody to them. How can I get my songs published?

We Answered:

I am rather new to the industry, I must admit, but I would suggest just going on different artist's sites that you know and contacting them. A lot of Christian artists have their own website and they have a contact me section. That would be a rather direct approach but it would be a way to get started.

As for a way you can get noticed is you could try going around to churches and see if you can find any bands that are trying to make it and have them play a show at a church or two to get word around, making sure that you get credited for your lyrics. Then some buzz might start to be built on that and you could get heard about by others.

You also could try asking to be advertised on a local Christian radio station. KLOV would be a good one to try as I believe they are nation-wide and I know a ton of people love that station.

Alvin Said:

How do you get inspired to write lyrics?

We Answered:

im not a musician or anything but i know the best song come from real life. It comes from first heartbreak, first love, and pain. Even just listening to your friends or families stories may help. If your having a writers block try meditation and try to free your mind of worry.
