How to become a professional songwriter

From the moment you started writing songs you knew there was so much more possibility for yourself as a songwriter. As you’ve continued to write and play your songs, that dream has continued to grow and is now fully envisioned – the dream to record your songs, grow your audience, and be recognised by the music industry. And you’re not alone in that thinking, your family and friends agree there is so much potential!

You know that you want to live this dream, but you’re just not sure how to get there. It can feel daunting and overwhelming with questions and doubts that hold you back from really getting going. Questions like, where do I start, how do I get my songs ‘out there’, are my songs even good enough to take to the next level?

You may hear about artists and songwriters who appear to have ‘made it’ overnight, but know that this ‘overnight success’ has required years upon years of writing songs, honing their skills and building a community. It isn’t about doing a bit of work here and there when they get the inspiration to, or it’s convenient to, or they feel frustrated enough to take action. It’s about showing up consistently, week in, week out.

If you know that these simple steps will really make a huge difference to how you will feel about your songwriting and the ability to back yourself to follow through on your dream, then let us enrich that picture a little more. 

What if you could also be surrounded by a group of songwriters who give you feedback on every song you write, be building your songwriting community, building your songwriting skills, and even having further opportunities to up-level your skills with mentoring, workshops and so much more to help you take those next career steps? Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

In The Club, we offer you the guidance to write songs every week with simply 1-2 hours of your time each week. We help you build your songwriting community by giving you access to a group of like-minded peers who will listen to and give you helpful feedback on your new songs every single week and help you stay accountable to writing each week.

And when you do that, you’re going to feel much more assured knowing that you have strong, tried and tested songs that really connect with others. You’re going to feel ready to select your favourite 5-10 songs to take into the studio, and you’ll know that you’ll have genuinely taken steps every week to build the resilience that you need to embolden your chances for career success. This is just some of the amazing support we offer which you can find out more about here.
