I wanted to share this here because it’s a good example of how slow, unglamorous, real progress in the music industry often looks. After decades of writing, pitching, teaching, and learning, I signed a single-song contract recently. The artist is expected to cut the song this month. I’ll share more about the process - what worked, what didn’t, and what actually mattered - once things are finalized. If you’re working toward cuts, pitches, or placements and feel behind, you’re not. This is a long game - and I’m happy to answer questions when you’re ready.
