FAQs

Can I bring an already written song or part of a song?

​No, come with an open mind ready to write from scratch, inspired by the prompt of the day

What is a prompt and why do we get one?

This is going to be either a theme, idea, spark or a real pitch that simulates what it might be like to write for music industry pitches, eg if you have to write for a TV show or film or advertising jingle in a short amount of time. You'll get real world scenarios that build your muscle in writing for the industry.

What if I don't know anyone to write with?

No problem. We're actually going to put you with another writer (or several depending on attenance), based on your songwriting skills and style. For example of you are mainly a lyricist we might pair you with an instrumentalist, or if you are a strong hip hop writer, we may pair you with another writer of a similar vein - or - we may pair you with someone in a different genre, eg country, to get you outside of your comfort zone and build your songwriting skills in different genres.

How does it work to write on Zoom virtually?

Watch the video with Gilli above. We use Zoom breakout rooms. Make sure you get comfortable with using 'original sound' on zoom in advance so people can hear not just you but also your instrument (if applicable)

Who owns the song after its written?

You and your co-writers of that day will own the song. At Songsalive! we split the songwriting equally, no matter whether one person writes more than the other. We're all about fairness. We'll help you with some of the legalities when it comes to BMI, Ascap submission. Be sure that you are a member of a performing rights society beforehand like BMI, Ascap, Sesac etc.

Can I take part of the song we write on the day and create something different with part of it later? ​

Yes but only if your co-writers agree, and it will always be owned by all of you even if altered in the future.
