NASHVILLE DEMO
STUDIO PRESENTS:
MUSIC ROW - FAST TRACK!
Putting you 5
years ahead of the out of town writer curve!
NDS FAST TRACK!
It never fails. Every time I sit down with a songwriter from out of town
that I KNOW is great and I ask them why they think they aren’t further
in their careers than they are, the response is overwhelming. To be a
successful writer here in town you MUST assimilate. You have to be here
writing in the inner circle of music row to A. Get your writing where it
needs to be and B. Get the relationships required to be successful.
Writers make trips to town all the time only to sit in their hotel rooms
wondering what to do with their day. They go to writer nights only to
get frustrated because they don’t know who’s who and how to approach
other writers for co-writes, etc. They want to take meetings with
publishers, etc but have no idea how to get them becausemusic row’s
doors are closed to outsiders and the only real way to get those
meetings is to have someone make a call on your behalf and vouch for
you.
It IS frustrating to make the financial investment to come to town only
to get lost in the minutia of the community and to stand on the
periphery of the real music row.
NOT. ANY. MORE.
I have decided to take a VERY significant risk and start a year long
program that will fast track you through music row and get you about 5
years ahead of the curve of other out of town writers.
I will be utilizing my own personal contacts and make calls on your
behalf so that when you come to town, every single day you are herewill
be filled with appointments and co-writes so that you are maximizing the
time you are here and fast tracking past all of the other out of town
writers, positioning you for success.
Obviously, I can only open the door. You have to walk through it and
this program is a commitment on your part, so think long and hard on if
this REALLY is what you want out of life and if you are really serious
about being a professional songwriter.
Here’s how the program is going to work:
· This is a 12-month program. You will need to commit to traveling to
Nashville quarterly (4 times a year).
· You will let us know when you are coming at least ONE MONTH in advance
and we will get to work scheduling your week for you.
· You will be given your schedule before you come to town so that you
know exactly what you will be doing from day to day.
· We will schedule co-writes with established AND hit songwriters and
here’s the cool thing, we will NOT be telling them that you are part of
one of our programs. We will just be making the calls and saying, “Hey!
We met this writer and we think they are great and you should write with
them”, so that your cowrites are organic and the cowriters don’t feel
like they need to “mentor” you in any way, and they will just treat you
like any one else they write with.
· We will be scheduling meetings for you. We will schedule you PRO
meeting (because you should be checking in with them once a quarter) and
it always helps if we let them know that we think you are great and
deserve some special attention.
· We will be scheduling publisher meetings for you as well so that if
you aren’t co-writing you are taking meetings on the row and getting
your music heard and some face time.
· We will also let you know what writers nights you should be going to
to network and where the best places to lunch will be as well. If you
want to play a writers night, we will get that handled as well.
· At the end of the week you will be meeting with us to discuss all you
did in the week and we will help you strategize what we need to set up
for your next visit.
While I want to make this as cost effective as possible, it’s not going
to be cheap. I do not want to make money off of this, but I HAVE to pay
my staff for all of the time they will be putting in to create your
schedules and convince writers that you are worth their time. That is
VERY time intensive work and I have to pay them for their time. You will
need to make your own travel arrangements; etc. I am ONLY setting up
your time here, everything else is up to you.
We will ONLY be allowing FOUR writers into this program per year.
It’s important to me that we make each week you are here life altering
and seriously fast track you, so I don’t think we can handle more than
that.
You MUST apply to get in and one of the big qualifications is that I not
only know your music, but also know your personality. As I said before,
this is a HUGE risk I am taking by utilizing my personal network so I
need to be assured that the writers I allow into this program are a
great hang and on the level. If you’ve done any of my other events,
please make sure you put that in the application so that I can reference
that in my decisions.
Dates: 4 Visits a Year based on your schedule.
Price: $3500 (Remember, this is for a years worth of work from us)
Not trying to create a sense of urgency, but I know a LOT of fantastic
writers so this will most likely fill up in a few days.
