When accepting his BMI Icon award in 2010, songwriter David Foster gave a speech which was more like a ten commandments for all songwriters to live by.
Here are those ten songwriting tips in a nutshell:
- Save your money
- Don’t get married
- Learn an instrument
- Don’t be too precious about your songs
- Be genuinely happy for someone else’s success
- Phone people back
- Give your career everything that you have
- Be on time
- Make every creative decision as if you have a million dollars in the bank
- Save your money
Enjoy…
I especially liked numbers 3, 4 and 9 on the list. Which one(s) resonated with you? Let me know, I’d love to hear from you.
Peace,
Corey 🙂
