Black Lucy Music Experience is a combination of my journey through life, embraced by many multi-cultural influences, friendships, family, diverse co-workers, education, travels and my Spiritual walk is how I found my sound.

1. Song Writers
Song writers are individuals who write songs. Their role and responsibility of song writers
encompasses writing lyricist and composing. The best music writers compose, arrange, and
play their own songs. However, the music industry today has laid much stress on producing
popular hits, which has eventually distributed the single role of the writer across experts
who specialize in a specific aspect of song writing.
Song writers are responsible for the creation of musical masterpieces that serve a variety of
audiences and genres. The writers create songs for video games, advertisements, film,
television, recording artists, plays, ballets and operas. And of course such writers also create
songs for bands in all music genres, including country, pop, alternative, rock, R&B, techno,
jazz, gospel, and rap.
Song writers usually have to self-market themselves extensively before being signed to a
music publisher or record company. Some of them work alone, but most prefer working in
collaboration with a partner or a music company. Music writers often prepare demo records
and songs featuring their work. They market themselves through these demo tapes by
publishing them through the Internet and personal websites as well as by sending their
samples directly to performers, recording companies, and publishers.
Song writers who work with music recording companies and have signed a particular
agreement with a music publisher are called staff writers. In such instances, the music
publisher reserves the right to publish all the songs of that writer within their contractual
time period. Some song writers work on a song-by-song basis for publishers, rather than
contracting exclusively with a single publisher. Many others are also singers and continue to
record albums with a single record label.

2. The advent of the Internet has catered song writers in networking well with music industry
professionals. Song writers need to possess a thorough understanding of music theory,
melody, harmony, tone, and rhythm to write hit songs. Some writers specialize in writing
songs for television programs and compose music for the shows. Music writers also work in
advertising agencies where they usually write jingles for commercials. Others ghost write
songs for bands and aspiring musicians. The salary and cost of such writers varies in
accordance with the popularity of their songs. Some companies pay royalties to the lyric and
music writers upon the success of their albums or a particular song.
The job of a song writer requires enhanced levels of creativity and persistence. Advanced
knowledge of lyric, rhythm, and melody within a specific genre is essential to be a good
music writer. The career of a musician is initially challenging, but song collaboration,
knowledge, persistence, and networking prove instrumental in the eventual earning of
financial rewards, popularity, and fame.
