All I can tell you is what I do when I write music. There is always more than one way to do it. I surround myself with writers I love to listen. Listen close to the different types of melody there is in a song. Listen for all points they put harmonies into the song. How they structure the words in the song. Music is just poetry with rhythm. Study the different types of poetry writing style. Read the lyrics of songs and see how they match with the different poetry writing styles.

Write lyrics down everyday. Listen to the instruments in the song. How does the instrumentation make you feel, that's usually how you find what to write about. Pick topics that are close to your heart. Don't be afraid to talk about anything cause there are many going through the same things.

Now pick a some instrumentation and practice writing. Writing is a skill like any other. The more you do it the better you get. The songs I wrote in the beginning were horrible. They had good content but I didn't know what I was doing when it came to recording and mixing music.

That is another thing. Listen to music that is mixed and mastered and the difference between non mastered music. Then of course invest in your music. Make sure your engineer cares about the quality of your music. That person can guide you on how things should sound if they really care, but also learn how you want it to sound. Once you know how you want it to sound tell your engineer. Write the melodies with them if you have to.

Most important of all. Don't quit!!!!

Ask me anything and I will help with what I can
