Sounds Like: ADVICE FROM MARNIEi get asked alot how to become a songwriter and how to get to be a singerwell for what its worth here goesWell if you think the music biz is an easy ride then get on a wild horse with no saddle fall off a few times break every bone in ya body then get back on again this time with no reins.Be prepared to work for no money for years till u finally get someone just out of school with a back to front baseball cap and a frighteningly low IQ to listen to your cd convincing yaself he has some power in the company but sadly finding out he is just a scout and has 9 bosses above him that wont listen to ya cd even if he plays them to them ...cos they dont even know his name . Dont be taken in by the saying "but my mate got a deal straight away its not that hard" cos my answer is "well did he make any money and what supermarket is he working in now" Be prepared to be let down ALOT but keep on believing in yaself whatever the rejection .take critisicm it is how we learn its very useful even if its dead personal.Dont get ya knickers in a twist if a company doesnt like your stuff ,get what you can from the meeting ask them if they can make any suggestions and if you can come back to them once you have taken the points on board or ask if they know another company that might be into your style.DO NOT listen to your mum who will tell you that your songs are better than anyone on the radio and that auntie pam has your cd on in the car all the time ..think about it your mum isnt going to tell you its shit is she and auntie Pam probably only has one cd in her car ..get real. my friends are pretty hardcore when it comes to being honest about my tracks i wouldnt have it any other way really.When my mate Cathie says "Youve cracked it mate" i know im onto a winner.if u can do all this and not end up on prozac then u pass the first test of getting into the buisnessthe second will be when you pay ya lawyer ..you get a massive company to pay u a big advance then the lawyer takes half in fees ................welcome to the music biz Sermon overhope this makes a few people laugh at least
