Behind every hit artist is a hit song. This saying has become a mainstay in the music business since it's inception. Great songs help to showcase a singers voice by inducing emotion, creating style, and increasing marketability. Nashville Song Service knows the importance of matching a great singer with the right songs.
Getting a record deal is certainly something most serious singers aspire toward. Unfortunately there are a lot of singers trying and only a few "slots" to fill. Having a professional package is key to grabbing the interest of a record label. This includes a professionally recorded demo, professional photos, a biography, and any write up's or newspaper clippings. It is also extremely helpful to have a music video and website. Of course it is imperative to have professional representation as the music industry does not accept unsolicited material.
Finding the right songs is crucial for showcasing a singers style, emotion, range, and technique. This can seem like an impossible task without the right connections to great songs and songwriters. Singers who claim to write songs often fall short simply because they have spent their time developing their voice and stage presence and not on writing great songs. Furthermore getting a friend or band member to write songs for you can be frustrating and leave you wondering why industry doors still remain shut.
The music industry does not want to sign a new artist in hopes of finding that magical song that will skyrocket them to stardom. They want to be presented with the package already in place - a great voice singing a great song. Nashville Song Service currently has a large catalogue of professionally written songs in the modern and traditional country styles. We encourage country singers to contact us and discuss your direction as an artist so we may assist you in the advancement of your career.
