We produce demo recordings and help songwriters get published. Right now, we are looking for lyrics suitable for a male vocalist. E-mail them to: jstone3216@yahoo.com We want lyrics that rhyme and are in meter. Do not send attachments. Single space lyrics. For further guidelines on the type of lyrics we are looking for, see our page Lyric Writing. If you write only words and not music, that is okay. We can write the music for your song. Please include your mailing address, in case we want to offer you a recording proposal. Your name will not be placed on a mailing list. We do not send spam.
If you already have a song recorded, our Song Marketing Service can get your song heard by music publishers. Send a copy of your material on cassette or CD, along with a copy of the lyrics to:

2/16/04: We have recently heard from a few writers that they received publishing and recording deals from Emerald Records and Majestic Records. Sorry folks, but these companies produce demo recordings. You have to read their literature very carefully! They are not offering legitimate publishing and/or record deals.
9/13/03: Robert Thornton is looking for a publishing deal for his song, "The One I Love".
8/19/03: We have heard from several songwriters this week who feel they have been ripped off by record companies Hilltop, Celebrity, Tumba and Americord. All those companies produce demos and recordings for your personal enjoyment. Although some of them have contracts that imply you will make a profit on royalties, they don't promote their recordings. Instead, they make a living off of the fees they receive from songwriters. There are many more of these vanity record companies out there, so be careful! As is mentioned elsewhere on this site, legitimate record companies and publishers do not charge a fee for test sessions, screenings, administration, new demos or anything else.
