Have a great song stuck in your head—or sitting unfinished on your hard drive? You're not alone.
Many songwriters, artists, and composers have ideas they're excited about but don't have all the skills, instruments, production experience, or resources needed to turn those ideas into finished recordings.
In this episode of TAXI TV, Michael Laskow talks with TAXI members Michelle Witmer and Khris Berry about one of the biggest challenges facing independent music creators: how to get unfinished songs and instrumentals over the finish line.
Michelle and Khris have been getting placements with music created through collaboration, and they've recently launched a company designed to help musicians find collaborators and guide the creative process through completion.
The conversation explores an increasingly important question for today's music creators: What do you do when you have the song, but you can't do everything yourself?
You'll learn about:
- How collaboration can help turn unfinished songs into finished tracks
- Finding the right musicians, songwriters, producers, and collaborators
- Getting a song from an idea to a professional recording
- Why some great musical ideas never make it off the hard drive
- Building a team around your music
- How collaboration can help create music for sync licensing
- Getting songs and instrumentals ready for music libraries
- The challenges independent musicians face when producing their own music
- Alternatives to trying to do every part of the creative process yourself
- How Michelle and Khris are helping musicians bring their music to completion
If you're a songwriter, artist, composer, producer, or independent musician with unfinished songs sitting on your hard drive, this conversation could give you a new way to think about getting those ideas completed—and eventually getting them in front of people looking for music.
Because sometimes the missing ingredient isn't another songwriting session.
It's the right collaborator.
