  1. isnt it funny how the artist/songwriter we have grown up with from say the 50's to the 80's who wrote these iconic songs/albums knew less but wrote better songs that have lasted the test of time, and here we are with every available tool at our disposal i.e. workshops, youtube etc knowing more but writing less better songs, i submit to all writers its not always what you know, but the spirit and heart in the work along with knowledge  

  2. It must be great to be able to write music and lyrics. I think Jason does both.I can write music but I feel like it has been a 100 years trying to find a co-writer to write pop hits. I think it is good to keep your day job, and finish college, and write music. Stay away from the cat food unless you like purina cat chow..that is my favorite LOL I guess better than dog food!

  3. Here is another approach/plan to consider: How about spending a few years developing yourself in a good paying day job, do that for 10 years earning good money. Do a job that allows freedom in the evenings, (and during the day if your lucky) to develop your music. You won't have to eat cat food, you can afford to build up a nice home studio with quality gear while your learning song writing and production techniques. When you have some quality songs down, join taxi and start your music career.

  4. I'm going to try to figure out which hits Jason did. I agree, it's a horror story. Sylvester Stallone's story is kind of similar, but there's a big leap in there with Rocky. Music has got to be the hardest business on Earth to crack, because everybody and their mother is a musician and/or a songwriter.
