How do I get someone in the music industry to look at my song lyrics?

I have recently compiled 126 of the lyrics into a collection and had it copyrighted because I was unable to get anyone to give a serious look to even one of my songs. In particular, I've got one song which is far better than the single "standard" holiday song out there. That one especially seems incredibly marketable. Thanks for your help.

Well, you are on the right track by copyrighting your work. Its tough to be a song-writer these days with so many artist wanting to be independent and writing their own stuff. However, its not impossible.





You have to prove the song is marketable and that's impossible to do with just words on paper. You should create demos of your lyrics in action. This will require music written for your lyrics and a demo singer to bring the words to life. Once you got 3 to 5 of your BEST songs demo'd its time to shop them. There are various ways to do this, a few key websites, trade mags, and tip-sheets that let you know who's-who and who needs what. You must know your genre, and what kind of demand it currently has in the market, find those in that market and get the music in their ears...


I know this a non-detailed version of what to do, but if you're ready to do the work, (that is research and "pound-the-pavement") , this should get you in the right direction...
Reply:First get a copyright to show that those words are yours otherwise they can and will take the lyrics if they are good. I don't know if you would contact management or try to contact a person who you would like to be the singer. Good Luck to you!!
