People To Know: The Songwriters That Write The Hits Of Your Favorite Songs, Star On BRAVO's "Platinum Hit"

Whassup Peeps?

Most aspiring artists don't have any clue about songwriting and music publishing and how they together fuel the music business industry. Its an old system but it works...if you work it!

Successful artists who make it big are very rare. There are only so many Beyonce's, Whitney Houston's, Aretha Franklin's, Micheal Jackson's, R. Kelly's, etc. The thing that each one of these artists have in common is the song. Somebody has to write the song. Sometimes the artists themselves pen the song and other times it is someone or a team of writers we've never heard off.

People like Sean Garrett and The Dream come to mind as awesome songwriters who were "Go To" guys that wrote platinum songs before the world knew who they were. Songwriters get paid big money upfront and residual to write songs for artists.

BRAVO has a new show coming on called "Platinum Hit" which is about songwriters behind hit songs. Here is the link below to a video promoting the show.

Music Publishing For Dummies

Creating songs is not only fun, it is a great way of making money. Songwriters get paid major money for making hits and the residual income can support a songwriter for a lifetime.

Having control of a collection of hit songs is like having a money in the bank or better yet, a money tree. The songs just keep generating income.

There are plenty of great examples of songwriters we can see everyday as living proof that songwriters get PAID! Look at people like Neo, The Dream, Keisha Cole, Keri Hilson, Jay Z, Kanye West, and the King of Pop, the Micheal Jackson, R.I.P.

Songwriting gets you paid.

Its great to be able to know how to rap and/or sing but the real cake gets made by people who put the words to the paper and the music to those words. If you can do all three: sing, write, and make beats, you then become a triple threat.

So there it is...music publishing is a nutshell boils down to this:

Get busy writing and creating marketable songs, learn how to market and sell those songs, then go to the bank.

I'm kidding by being simple but at the same time I'm using a bit of seriousness. It took me six years after being serious about the music business to find out about music publishing. There was no Internet. Only books, classes, and networking.

Even with the Internet, you still need to learn the business and what better part to learn than the part that generates the most income?

Insider's Secrets to Music Publishing & Copyrights

Whassup,

I just recorded my newest podcast dedicated to the late Michael Jackson. I haven't put it in mp3 format yet but if you have access to watch video, then you MUST check this 2 part video out.

I'm not sure if you know this (most artist don't) but the real meat of the music business is music publishing. Michael Jackson knew this and he has many songs credited under his name. He even bought the Beetles catalog which is worth millions!

In these videos I touch on some little known facts on music publishing as well as copyrights.

Let me know what you think. I encourage comments for dialogue.

Here is Part 1:

P.S. You gotta know I love doin' this right? How many other YouTube videos will you see the host rockin' a wife-beater tank top??? LOL!!! Holla...

Music Publishing & Copyrights

My next podcast/videocast (Episode 7) will be dedicated to Michael Jackson R.I.P. I will talking about music publishing and copyrights. Here's me talking about it in the video above.

Mike had a massive catalog of hit songs that he wrote himself not to mention the power buy of The Beatles catalog.

Personally, I don' think he was broke at all. Just because you have debt it doesn't mean you're broke.

Duhhhhh to the media!!!!
