This Xperience provides you with the opportunity to work directly with a songwriter whose credits include a currently charting single, songs used for commercials and TV shows and performances in front of hundreds of thousands of people all over the country. The Xperience begins when you connect with the writer via telephone or email and discuss the topic and how you hear your song. You may be involved in as much of the process along the way as you choose, from choosing the musical style to framing the lyrics. The writer will then assemble the conversation into song lyrics and write the song. Then receive the song in “demo” form and upon satisfaction, a master performance will take place at a professional recording studio.* Once the song has been completed you will receive the CD “master” recording (voice accompanied by guitar or piano only) and printed lyrics.
