NEW ONLINE SITES TARGET SONGWRITERS
NASHVILLE - Two new internet sites for songwriters have launched this week. HitWriters.com (http://www.hitwriters.com) and NextHitWriters.com (http://www.nexthitwriters.com) are companion sites that:
A) offer promotional services to established performing writers with at least one top ten on any major chart, and
B) educational tools to up-and-coming songwriters of all levels.
Both sites encompass writers of all musical genres.
HitWriters.com offers complimentary membership to top performing songwriters of all genres by invitation. Each songwriter has the option of providing content to their own HitWriter page that encompasses video footage, interviews, photos, a bio and discography. A few of the HitWriters include: Jim Weatherly (Midnight Train to Georgia), Dave Gibson (Queen of Memphis), Wynn Varble (Have You Forgotten), David Lee (Letters from Home), Bobby Taylor (Hillbilly Shoes), Rob Crosby (Concrete Angel), Deborah Allen (Baby , I Lied) and Roxie Dean (When I Think About Angels). Others on the HitWriters roster are listed on the HitWriters web site.
HitWriters.com is also packaging hit songwriters for live performances around the country. And, in the near future, HitWriters.com will be offering for sale copies of the songwriter's own CDs.
"HitWriters.com is a service we are offering to both the songwriter and to fans," said Anthony Martin, an independent producer and former SONY A&R executive, and one of the four founding members of HitWriters.com. "We have a highly-trafficked Internet venue where select hit songwriters can sell their own CDs, and we are giving fans of the songs and the songwriters the opportunity to hear the music and to see the songwriters performing the music live."
Fans and up-and-coming songwriters can also learn more about the craft of songwriting and the music business directly from music professionals at NextHitWriter.com. NextHitWriter.com is an affordable paid membership site that offers written and video-taped advice from songwriters who are at the top of their craft. The site also features exclusive tips and articles written by music industry professionals, opportunities to participate in tele-seminars with hit writers and music industry executives, song critiquing, and a host of other services that can help songwriters who have not yet had that big hit jump-start their careers.
NextHitWriiter.com also has an advisory panel of some of the most recognized names in the business, including Kevin Lamb, Christy DiNapoli, Chris Oglesby, Abbey Burkhalter and Mike Sebastian.
In addition to Martin, the other three founding members of HitWriters.com and NextHitWriters.com include: Michael Blake Mahler, member of the former EPIC Records recording act Wild Horses and a songwriter with cuts by George Jones, and many others; Lisa Wysocky, a long-time public relations and marketing specialist, music industry consultant, author, and motivational speaker; and Bruce Uher, interactive media specialist and founder of Multi-Media Interactive.
