BIGGEST SONGWRITING TIP I WISH I LEARNED YEARS AGO

The most powerful skill you can learn today is STORYTELLING.

This one skill will have you stand out musically from the rest and succeed.

Learning how to tell effective stories with your music separates the pros from the amateurs.

It takes practice.

As music creators, it's your only job.

Tell a story through your music in a way that makes the listener feel emotional.

Make them cry, laugh, feel happy, feel sad, feel motivated, feel inspired.

Here are 3 examples of how artists used a story to sell millions of records worldwide

50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Trying (2004)
Got shot 9 times and didn't die.

Kayne West - Late Registration (2004)
Had a near-fatal car accident, left his face disfigured and still alive

Usher - Confessions (2004)
Betrayed his wife and got another woman pregnant.

Sharing your stories or other people's stories is the tried and tested formula to impacting people emotionally.

The more dramatic and emotional a story is - the more it will impact listeners.

Comment below your story, how you came up in the game, and your vision over the next 5 years?
