Discovering Your Successful Songwriting Process John Chisum
Discovering Your Successful Songwriting Process John Chisum MODULE 3 - Music Business Models Hey and welcome back everyone - - in the last video I was talking with you about how God Himself longs to be heard through you, through your songs, because He knows the power He wants to release through them to change the world. In this video I want to talk about how the music business itself all boils down to the song but that, actually, striving to be in the music business isn’t the right focus for you - - - only pleasing God as you faithfully steward this gift in you is worth focusing on. When you think about all the people who touch the music making process - - songwriters, artists, record companies, managers, PR agents, CD duplicators, tour managers, radio promoters, people who sell ads on streaming services, and all the way out to the public - - - it’s like an inverted pyramid that rests on one thing - - the song.

So you are at the beginning of this entire food chain, if you will, the whole sequence that employs tens of thousands of people and that affects the entire world - - It’s like we can all harmonize with the old Barry Manilow song, “I write the songs that make the whole world sing….” Because that’s what we want to do - - gather the hearts and minds of the entire world around the love and power of Jesus to save, heal, deliver, and to experience something of what we feel about Him.
