On a lunch outing, the narrator played a song for Troy, who immediately asked a question that revealed a missing element in the song. The narrator added the missing element and the song became a success. Most people prefer not to question or criticize, but the narrator values questions. Questions are charming.
Ever wondered how songs get written, pitched, and cut? How songwriters and publishers work together? How the creative process unfolds? The role publishers play in getting a song out there?
To answer all these questions, we sat down with legendary Nashville songwriter Tom Douglas and the president and CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Troy Tomlinson. It’s a fascinating look at both the art and business of songwriting. If you’re in a creative field, you’ll find plenty of takeaways for your own business.
