Having Trouble Getting Your Songs Heard?

Can’t seem to crack open the doors of the music biz? Is posting your songs in Facebook Groups and on Soundcloud getting you nowhere? Do you live outside a major music center like Nashville, New York or LA, and you don’t know how to make those vital industry connections?  I know it can be terribly difficult to get your songs into the hands of the legit music industry.  I've been there, and I know how discouraging it can be.  I know how it feels to be "unheard."

The sad truth is, if THE RIGHT PEOPLE don’t hear your song… nothing happens. No cuts, no hits, no quitting that day job. Your songs will just sit there and go no further than your notebook, your computer, or that stage at your local coffee shop or bar.  And the folks that think you’re crazy for dreaming of a career in the music business? Well… they’ll continue to think they’re right.

You simply CAN'T get your songs recorded by a major artist if nobody in their circle ever hears your songs.

The Music Industry Pitch Event Is YOUR Chance To Get Noticed... and earn a Co-Write with the Artist!

The Music Industry Pitch Events exists to connect you and your music to the real music business.  It's your opportunity to be heard by real professionals in the industry.

How would it feel to watch an industry pro as they listen to your best song - and to get their personalized feedback in real time?  How would it feel to KNOW you've been heard?  And what if they love your song?  That's more than just validation that you're doing good work.  It's more than just a sense of relief that comes with "well, maybe I'm not crazy for having this dream after all."  It's more than just knowing that you belong with the pros.

It's an open door to a real relationship in the music business.

Nobody will ever believe in you and your music... until someone finally does.  Back before I ever had a song on the radio, back before I ever landed my first staff songwriting deal, back before I'd even written with any hit writers... I had a relationship.  I had a champion.  I had ONE music business professional who believed in my song.  And he got it into the right hands.  That song went on to become a top 5 hit for legendary country artist, Alan Jackson.  The song is "Monday Morning Church," and it was my first major cut.

I brought that song with me from Little Rock, Arkansas, to Nashville, Tennessee.  And nobody believed in me or that song... until somebody did.  And it changed my life.

The Music Industry Pitch Event is an opportunity to find your believer.  It's a chance to get respect in the industry. It's a chance to get discovered.

Rising Latin/Country artist, Leah Turner, wants songs for her next album.  And we want to connect her with YOU.

Leah wants the BEST music she can find, and she wants to hear YOUR songs!  This is your opportunity to build a relationship with an artist, so don't miss out on your best chance to get your song in front of her!

And get this: Leah is also open to cowriting with you! Here’s the deal: not many people write what Leah is doing - mixing authentic Latin music with commercial country music. So finding outside songs for her is a tall order. If your song is perfect for her, she’ll cut it. However, if it’s close but not quite right, she’s willing to cowrite with you to bring it across the finish line… and into the studio.

Earn a Co-write with Leah!

Meet our Special Industry Guest!

Leah Turner: Rising Singer-Songwriter 

Leah Turner is the living version of a country song with a passion all its own. 

Her father, Don Turner, was a true-blue world champion rodeo star. In earlier days as a Coca Cola distributor, Don delivered a shipment to a deli where he first caught eyes with first generation Mexican American Susaña Galvan - a jewelry designer, artist and ballet dancer. 

From this American love story came a fiery Leah Turner, who first sat down to a piano at 3 years old and has since felt called to blend her Latin roots with the country music she creates - it was inevitable that all roads would eventually lead to Nashville. 

First discovered by GRAMMY Award-winning artist Kenny Loggins, who told her to pack up her stuff and move to L.A., Turner has partnered with multiple GRAMMY Award-winning producers Humberto Gatica and David Foster, and has toured or shared the stage with country stars Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Jake Owen, Rascal Flatts, Cole Swindell, and more. Her debut single “Take the Keys,” released in 2013, quickly climbed to aTop 40 spot on the Billboard Country chart and accrued over 3 million streams on Spotify alone. 

An accomplished songwriter, Turner has had cuts with Cody Purvis (“Drinkin’ Terms” - Top 50 on the Billboard Country chart), Kristy Lamb (“Bad Habit” - No. 1 in Australia), and Academy Award-nominated actor Jeremy Renner (“Never Sorry” and “My Type” from his 2020 EP, The Medicine). With the release of her EP, "Lost in Translation," Turner is truly embracing her heritage - as witnessed in the project’s first single, “Once Upon a Time in Mexico.” 

“Country music has always had a love affair with the Hispanic culture,” says Turner. “I’m just the product of a good old-fashioned country song and the American dream.”

Meet the Hosts!

What kind of song does Leah want?

For references, check out her current project, “Lost In Translation” on any major streaming platform. Other good references include the country group, Midland, and “Tequila Does” by Miranda Lambert. If your song fits with those, we want to hear it!

Here's How It Works

This event will be held January 31, 2022.  After you purchase your "ticket" to this event, you'll see the instructions on where and how to submit your song. You will also receive an email that contains the instructions.

Our team will listen to each entry and choose the "top 10" that we think have the best chance to catch the pro's ear.

I guarantee that we will listen to each song you enter. (Purchase one ticket for each song you wish to enter. Enter as many times as you like.)

You can submit demos or work tapes in .mp3 or .wav format. Either one is fine! It just needs to be something you can email to us. You'll get the email address in the instructions after you purchase. Please, no videos.

The top 10 songwriters will be announced through my website, SongwritingPro.com, email and social media on Tuesday, January 25, 2022, and they'll receive an exclusive invitation to our Zoom.us web-videoconference. During this 1 1/2 hour conference, you'll be "face to face" with our pro guest as they listen to your song and provide honest, valuable feedback. Our guest will be able to see and hear you- and even answer a followup question or two.

And this is a REAL pitch opportunity! The bar is high, but you'll get a fair listen.

The Music Industry Pitch Event itself will be an intimate, open, and honest time of sharing songs, feedback, and discussion. Therefore, it'll just be me, Ray Hamilton of Song Placement Pros & Music Industry Pitch List, our guest, and the top 10 songwriters during the event.

We'll meet with Leah Turner on Monday, January 31, 2022 on the Zoom videoconference platform.

We're only accepting 400 songs, so enter your song TODAY!

Enter A Song, Watch The Replay

EVERY writer who submits a song will be able to WATCH THE REPLAY of the event. A day or so after the session, I'll make the replay for  available (for a limited time) for each writer who submits a song.

This alone is worth the entry price! Our guests always share a lot of valuable insight and information. If you want to know how a pro thinks and what it's like to have a pitch meeting, the replay is an excellent way to do that!

Let me be clear. Submitting a song does NOT guarantee that it will make the top 10 or that our guest will hear it. Due to time constraints, our guest will ONLY hear the 10 songs that we think have the best chance to impress him or her.

Also, just because the pro hears your song- even if he or she likes it- don't come in expecting to be offered a publishing deal or be promised a cut on the spot. This event is a door opener, not a deal closer. The purpose is for you to get valuable professional feedback- for your growth as a songwriter. The event may also result in the seed of a real, personal relationship with a music pro. But I can't promise a publishing contract or a cut or anything else. That just isn't how the music business works. But if you knock our guest out with your songs... that's a great way to begin a relationship.

Also, we won't have time to give you our personal feedback on every song that is entered. But we will listen. If your song is awesome, it'll get our attention. And probably our guest's, too.
