Jason Deere Song Thoughts

The pleasure was mine to head to a little songwriting get together presented by the great Jason Deere last night  Guess what hes human He has feelings He is a successful songwriter Last night took a bit more out of the mystery of fame and some of its captives It helped me to understand that the music business is a business to be conquered just as any other business

Notes taken from Jasons presentation "Be grateful you have passion enough to follow your dreams There is a price to pay being poor sleepless nights Use the curse to make art Be delightful Walk into a room and win the crowd over Get in line if you don't like me Nobody is good enough to make enemies TRT Tactful Relentless Tenacity 99% of people fail at this Tenacity Be humble as you learn your craft Know the top 10 songs in your genre last week this week next week Learn your instrument and those songs Commercial Keyhole Think keyhole Shove as much as you can though the tiny keyhole Writing the difference maker THE GOD THAT CREATED YOU PUT THIS INSIDE OF YOU FOR A REASON LEARN HOW TO BECOME AN INSTRUMENT IN HIS HANDS WITH YOUR ART Nashville Tribute Band Trina Harmon Find the passion to write YOU  Nobody else can write YOU  Entire career based on what it feels like Melody against the numbers is what makes passion for a song and people head out to buy one Nobody can do this for you It consists of hard work on your part Think Ive got my crap together This is gonna happen  17th 16th 18th 19th MUSIC ROW Your mouth is gonna get you crucified Your ART SPEAKS VOLUMES Craig Wiseman Tony Brown Write songs @ 10 and 2 Their method is volume Diane Warren insert text Nina says I wanna be like Diane Warren Parrot named Butwings Syncs Movies Sitting in a cave birthing babies Jack of all trades over a Master of One The chances that you will get a paid publishing deal are gone Do it yourself to get there  Be organized with your writing Your song catalog is only as valuable Date of Creatin PRO Folder with all of the audio files with lyrics NSAI can hook you into soon  Thought in my head INITIATIVE Name and phone number of the secretary of the record label Name of the secretary of the President  You need to self promote Talk about you  You must learn whats makin money Figure out how to lead the charts  Dont chase the charts  Surrender Say a Prayer What do You want me to do with this  Listen to your gut  Spend as much time with your family as you spend working  Thats where inspiration comes from"

Tired more to come later

Bless Jason DEEERE  :D
