8 ***Chart-Style CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN SINGER/SONGWRITER SONGS with Male or Female Vocals are needed by a World-Class, 5-Star Music Licensing Company with International distribution. The company offers buyout deals that pay $900 per song, upfront for the composition and master recording. On top of that, you'll keep 100% of the writer's share and earn performance royalties from your PRO. "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury "Out of Hiding" by Steffany Gretzinger Known by Tauren Wells Please submit modern, contemporary-sounding, Singer/Songwriter Songs that sound like what you'd hear on the CCM charts, and are in the general wheelhouse of the references above. Submissions should have great melodies, attention-worthy hooks, and a big chorus with lyrics that deliver an inspirational, uplifting message. You can go with a relatively simple Stripped-Down Guitar/Vocal or Piano/Vocal performance, but it needs to be as strong as what you hear in the references. No demos, please! A small, subtle ensemble or band backing the vocals could work nicely, but again, it's got to be really, really strong for this company. LYRIC Tip: They would prefer to hear lyrics that aren t too focused on the words Jesus or God. References to Him, Hallelujah, "You," "He," lift me up, etc., are probably more in line with what will work for this company. In other words, not too overt. Because these songs will be used in faith-based TV shows and feature films, lyrics that are emotionally uplifting and positive should work best. Lyrics with a positive resolution that stems from faith could work, but only if they are general, and don't tell a detailed story. "I was at the end of my rope, but You lifted me up," is an example of an approach that could work well. Please do NOT copy the referenced artists or songs in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed. NOTE: This company would prefer to find songs from artists that have "something going on." You d be wise to highlight any awards, touring experience, fanbase, or impressive sales or streaming figures you might have, as they're interested in working with artists and writers that have a "story." If

9 you re a new artist or band and don t have much of a story or track record yet, but you do have amazing songs, go ahead and submit them - quality songwriting still matters! This company offers an EXCLUSIVE BUYOUT DEAL and will pay you $900 per song, upfront for the publisher's share and master recording. You ll get 100% of the Writer's share and additional income from your PRO for any applicable performance royalties. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit as many Songs as you d like, online or per CD. Include Bio and Lyrics! All submissions will be screened on a yes/no basis with short critiques and must be received no later than 11:59 PM (PST), on Wednesday, January 30th, ***ORIGINAL VINTAGE COUNTRY SONGS Recorded in the 1940s-1980s with Male, Female, or Duet Vocals are needed by a really cool Music Licensing Company that has lots of awesome placements in Commercials, TV Shows, and Films. NOTE: We purposely passed on putting references in this request, as they could potentially be more misleading or limiting than helpful. It really just boils down to this: They re looking for Masters (or decently recorded Demos) of great COUNTRY songs that came from the 1940s through the 1980s period! Please send them old masters or good, solid demos of your original (no covers) Country Songs that were recorded in the 1940s-1980s. The recording quality is not expected to be on par with today s broadcast quality! They re much more interested in finding music that sounds authentic to the time period rather than worrying about pristine recordings. Good demos and master recordings are all of interest to this company! NOTE: They DO NOT want material that was recently recorded and made to sound old. They can only use AUTHENTIC, ORIGINAL, VINTAGE RECORDINGS, and only as long as the sound quality is reasonably good. This company does Exclusive and Non-Exclusive deals. The terms of the agreement will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. You must own or control 100% of your Master and Composition rights. Please submit as many Songs as you d like, online or per CD.
