Your gift will make room for you. I believe this saying is true. Songwriters and producers have the gift of creating music that inspires and shapes our culture. I often meet independent songwriters and producers and I am inspired by their God-given talent to create content that the world has not experienced thus far.

Its a strange time in terms of artists making a living relative to their streams etc.
especially during Covid. No mechanical

I am SO looking forward to a Covid vaccine and a return to some live events and get out there to start recording and producing acts.
God I miss it.
 
It is all about licensing now. That's the way forward in this climate and industry with streaming revenue low, and sales no longer really being a thing.
