What is WeShopSongs?
WeShopSongs is the brainchild of musician, producer and songwriter, Mynority, who dreamt of a way to unite emerging artists, songwriters and producers together to produce meaningful and successful music for everyone to enjoy.
"We connect unsigned artists, bands and songwriters with major record labels for FREE." - Mynority
That's right. The connection is completely free. We don't make a profit unless contracts or deals are made off the label. Here, the money comes from the record company/label. We don't make money here until you do. We work for free because we believe that it's important to help connect aspiring artists to the industry; we believe it's important to nurture talent and help develop it. In the current music industry, labels won't accept your demo unless it's from someone they know and trust. That's where we come in.
While this connection is free, we do charge fees for certain types of services that are separate from the connecting which include consulting, etc. More information can be found under the SERVICES section.
How does it work?
From looking for songwriters to write songs on our tracks or producers to produce songs for artists, we do everything in between.
THE PROCESS:
So you've just finished make a fantastic song that you are ready to take to the next step. Troubling questions arise such as, "What is the next step? How do you get there? How do you get in the industry? I don't live in a major city and I don't have a manager." We help solve these problems! At WeShopSongs, our primary goal is to take you masterpiece song to major A&Rs and Managers globally. While we shop your songs, you can continue creating your art. Like we said above, we don't make any money until you do!
Our job here is to concentrate on helping you get your first or next placement. It's very difficult to get a placement and it definitely does not happen overnight. Many connections in the industry have to be made and a reputation established. Mynority: "Having worked in this business for 10 years, I have built strong relationships that I will use to help you move to the next step. One thing I'd like to get clear from the beginning: I am very honest and will tell you straight what I know works best. Here's one secret: START SELLING YOUR SONGS TO OTHER ARTISTS."
"Wait, what?" You have made your song: you sang it, wrote the lyrics and maybe played instruments to it as well. But have you considered selling this song to a major artist instead? Or perhaps you've written a song but always imagined your favorite artist singing it. What you are here to do is make your own mark in the music industry, and while you're composing material, studio executives are lining up to swoop them up to give their Top 40 artists.
"Stop, I don't think I want anyone else singing MY song unless it's me." At this point, you may be ready to share your songs with the world, but as of now, no one knows you or cares to see your band's MySpace page. It's played out. If you walked in a room and instead announced that you were the writer to that new Black-Eyed Peas song everyone is bobbing their heads to, I think you'd get the immediate attention of people. It's all about positioning yourself and that's what we are here to help you do. It's like coaching in it's own way. Many people have paid their dues making it in this town, and though everyone's path is different, we all pay them. However, while you're taking on your journey here, Mynority is here to mentor you and give you advice that he's drawn from his own experience.
We invite you to browse the site and take advantage of some other useful tools we have for you to use. Feel free to use them all and tell your friends too. For answers to specific questions, please see the FAQs section.
