Jon's Songwriting Story

Introducing: A Free Website that Improves Your Songwriting

Fellow Songwriter,

Can you imagine getting real feedback about your song?

Just picture it; a true reflection of what real people think of your new song.

I don't want to sound harsh, but I know that all your friends say you have written the best song in the world. Your family can't believe how talented you are. Believe me, I have been there and sometimes they are right. Your song may be the next hit, but how do you know, and more importantly, how do you get the right people to listen?

Okay, you're probably wondering is this really free? Well yes as a matter of fact it is.

Let me share my story with you.

I started writing songs when I was 14. The music business was a lot different then (1970's). In some ways it was easier, but in many ways the problems are still the same. I used to wonder... how could I get my song in front of the right people.

It Was A Hit

I knew that the song was a number 1 hit, I just had to get it to the artist. I even went to the Grove School of Music and went through the songwriting course and composing and arranging. It taught me plenty, and I am eternally grateful to Dick Grove for his school and more importantly his passion for teaching, but I digress.

Of course, back then many groups used publishers to look for songs, and for the songwriter getting a publishing deal was like a golden ticket. At least that is what I thought. It is true that some publishers got many songs placed with artists, but the vast majority of songwriters just got their salary and many never even had songs placed. This was the "gatekeeper" syndrome.

How do you get past the gatekeeper?

If you are like me then you really have no benchmark to find out how good your song really is. Many of us are not living in the "entertainment" centers, or don't really have a network to shop songs with. The internet has changed all of that and now, with Is Your Song Good,  you can ask the people who buy your music, not the gatekeeper how good your song is. We invite the public to review songs, so you can get many different opinions. Publishers and groups looking for material are also encouraged to listen.

Now, with Is Your Song Good, you finally  will be able to know for sure how good that song really is. We are putting the finishing touches on all the features, so just enter your name and email on the right and we will send you updates about the launch and some free songwriting information.

Sincerely,

Jon Griffin and the Team at Is Your Song Good?
