Nashville publishers won't take AI songs , They're afraid on being sued , You could cut live tracks and pitch it. If you think about a town run by session players , Their not going to replaced by robots anytime soon . They might toy around with AI ideas is my guess

Elvis,
In as much as I agree with you whole heartedly and would love to cut live tracks for my lyrics and melodies, it's just not something I have the skills for. I had one song done in Nashville by a demo company but that was pricey. Finding a musician who can record and wants to co-write is a challenge too. So that leaves me with the dark web and the evils of AI, or I can keep singing them to myself. It makes me smile when I hear my words put to music, and that is all the payoff I really need. I share them with friends and they sometimes say man you need to get that to a publisher, and I'm like yeah me and millions of others.

I feel bad for the folks that are trying to chase their dreams down Broadway in Nashville, giving it all they have, they have to be pretty thick skinned to deal with the rejection when they know they have talent. I bet there's a song in there somewhere, but I'm sure it's already been done. Crazy Town comes to mind.

I love your stuff man, forget about the big time, can't wait to sit in a local bar and hear you do it live. Maybe Elvis can sit in.

I know someone who moved to Nashville many years ago. They worked regular jobs but were still playing music. Through networking there, after many years, they are, without revealing their name or anything, a major player in Nashville and around the world where country music is played. People put them down in some ways before but they stuck it out and lo and behold - they made it! Most everyone now sucks up to them now, particularly the good musicians who didn't take the risk. I'm not saying it will happen to you but it certainly could if you try.

Rob, All I meant to say by my comment was that those who stick it out and make it in Nashville need to have calloused skin, much like the unnamed star you mentioned they have to take a lot of rejection while growing a network before the door is opened for them. The success rate by some very talented artists is fairly low, but then again success is relative to each person's expectations.
I do this as a hobby, I have no illusions or expectations concerning my success, I just like to write. I'm on the back nine as I'm pushing 70 these days.

I know what you were saying. I just wanted to tell a true story to give others some encouragement to follow their dreams. I don't know how many times the person I know had rejection, if at all, but I know they said that they worked regular jobs for many years before they got noticed. Now they play with the biggest names, including the legendary. Obviously they have talent but that level of talent wasn't so apparent I believe when they were much younger. All the more to pursue it and never give up.

following your dreams means recording all year and $$$$'s , its not for the faint of heart. its basically stealing from Paul to give to Peter and looking like a seal balancing beach balls . So it's safer to play with AI . Nashville does not care you could go homeless trying to be on radio.
