Episode 74 - Writing for Other Artists with Chris Andreucci

As songwriters, we have opportunities to write for our own projects and other artists’ projects as well. Writing for other artists requires a unique set of skills and qualities, and this expands a songwriter’s horizon. I’m so excited to share a fabulous conversation with Chris Andreucci about writing for other artists. The quote for this episode is by Tracy Chapman: “Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It’s something I don’t feel like I really control.” Chris and I talk about everything a songwriter needs to keep in mind when writing for other artists. We cover the magic of collaborations, why we prefer to primarily write for other artists, the challenges that come with writing for artists, exploring various genres, meeting other songwriters and artists as often as possible, qualities of a great collaborator, putting relationships first and making personal connections, the importance of trust, and much more. I love my chat with Chris, and I hope you enjoy it. Are you enjoying Write on Track? Do you have a topic suggestion for an episode? Would you like to be a guest? Email me at [email protected].
