Singer Songwriters

Singer songwriters are artists who sing as well as write their own lyrics and sometimes compose the music as well. Beyonce and Eminem are among the many who use their creative talents in this way.

So many creative performers around the world write and compose their own songs. They use unique instruments of their country of origin and write traditional or modern music. These artists have a great influence in their music industry.

The history of how these creatives came about was when poetry was spoken in a chanting way and after printing was invented, these works of art were recorded for ballad singers to travel and perform during the early folk culture in Europe. In the olden days, to write your own lyrics in a poetic way and to compose the music was regarded as a person having enormous talent and that was embraced by the public.

Singer songwriters today still get that appreciation however, with the rise of manufactured singers and music bands, this talent seems to be of little advantage when breaking into a vast industry.

These manufactured artists are young and sexy and appeal to the future generations that spend most of their time and money obtaining this form of entertainment. Music moguls know that composing their own music and then creating an image through a singer can be a very profitable business. However, the popularity of these singers and bands will be constantly in the limelight and competition is great to have a place in the industry.

Original musicians still write and perform themselves and do it because they have a passion and not purely to compete with manufactured artists who churn out records or singles. Their music has a strong following of fans who will be around them throughout their career and because of them, these singers will always have their music in the marketplace. When they get to this stage, certain singer songwriters start to become legends as their creativity influences the trend and path the music industry hews to.
