SongShop - An Online Platform Built for Songwriters

INTRODUCTION TO SONGSHOP

Hi! My name is Steven Gerein. I am the creator of SongShop! I wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself, and give you a bit of background as to how SongShop came to be.

SMALL TALK

It was just another set up day – Spend the afternoon loading in gear. Set the stage and lighting. Line check, sound check, and then break until show time. Me and a couple band members did what most others would do –  walked down to the bar and grabbed a beer. We sat and chatted for a while, just the usual small talk about the show, set up, and how we thought the night would go. But then we started talking about something else; something that sparked the idea for SongShop. One of the guitar players who plays with us also has his own project, and he had been prepping songs for his next album. I was also starting to prep for another recording, and we got on the topic of finding songs from other writers.

However, know this: songwriters and composers can learn how to structure a song and present the song in a recognized format but the definition of a hit song is extremely subjective. The commercial value of a song to non-performing songwriters and composers is important, but it is not necessarily as important to performing songwriters. Artists in this category are capable of exploiting their own works
