Thanks for adding my song Climbing That Ladder to the Best Songs List! -CW Anderson
You got it, Thanks for sharing CW! LC Team
Appreciate the support
I listened to A Cold One and gave it a 5 star rating. I also write country songs. You might want to give a listen to Mill Creek Memories on my list. Maybe we could collaborate. -CW Anderson
Ty for the stars Maybe in future for sure for collaboration Will listen to song
Love the song Where Was God Perfect!!
Dear Shelly, Very kind of you to say so. yours, Craig
Well, you were right. I got a song selected by a publisher/licenser. The first song I had picked up was by a license company. Keep up the good work!
Congrats! You write great songs so I'm not surprised... Interestingly, I among others, I had the instrumental version of one of my songs, I'll Sing Anyway, selected for a licensing opportunity just recently... car commercial in England... gotta love Broadjam... thanks for the message CW
Hey Steven, I did notice you got that placement, congrats! I don't know where this all goes? I am about 4 months into Broadjam and not doing any other platform. CWA
Yeah I've had 5 or 6 songs selected, but now it's just a waiting game as you know... We just keep plugging away I guess... I think Broadjam is as good a platform as any...
Yeah, I've been wondering if this is the right platform it is the only one I'm on. I'm just not sure what these Licensing people really do and whether they just stick our songs in a catalog and don't really pitch them? Well this is the music biz for songwriters...
You may be right... I've known one of these guys who has been pitching for decades... I'm gonna get the low down from him and I'll let you know...
Great, thanks!
Hey Steven, I just got some feedback on a couple of songs I pitched and noticed you had one song on one o them that was up for final consideration; mine did not make that cut, and you know the final outcme of yours too by now. Just some notes re understandin this current system. I go back to Nashville back in the day. I use to cut demos and walk up and down publishers row and knock on doors. It was very direct and simple in those days. Then I went on to full time long form witing for publications and book publishers. Now, I've come fulll circle to songs but everything has changed. It looks like there are more opportunities but that seems to be an illusion. I see this new process as having more intermediate filters and they don't tell you what they are actually doing. There are no updates or accounting of what they've done after you get the contract. I am sure you've also run into all of this....just comparing notes.
You're absolutely right! Thats why I want to talk to the guy I know and my friend and mentor who has been in the industry for 30+ years who introduced me to him... I should get some good info and I'll share it with you... thanks much for your thoughts too
Okay, we're on the same page.
I've been on here long enough to what this is all about and who is on Broadjam and who isn't. Good for songwriters to test their material out on other songwriters. But that only goes so far. You gotta get to the public venues, the real listeners and buyers. I am not at all thrilled with the licensing companies, they're all fringe players. I've had one bad experience with them. I am pretty much done posting any more songs. Good Luck!
Hey, thanks for the 5 star rating of Mill Creek Memories! Had another song placed with a publisher/licenser so I guess things are moving right along...CW
Hi Allison, thanks for the 5 star rating! Congratulations on getting your songs place, as well...CW Anderson
Hey CW..."OVERLOAD KICKS ASS BRO!!!.......NICE!!....5/5
Thanks. When I get some time, I will give your work a listen.
Thanks for supporting my work, The Death House and Whiskey Road. Maybe we can collaborate on something. Take care....C.W Anderson
Hey CW Anderson!...I've listened to a few of your tunes and you really have it together. Really good stuff! Beyond Broadjam!. There appears to be a limit here!. I've been on since 2001. Had many tunes in top 10 categories- they come & go on a daily basis! The contests I believe- just a way to make $$! There are many better sites out there that give a really good listen and can assist. to propel your music forward! The music industry in my belief...has been over inundated with individuals that have absolutely no inherent musical talent at all! ! In today's world you can create music all digitally including lead vocals/ orchestral parts etc. It's simply unbelievable!! If you have a keen ear it is easy to hear this ! It's ruined the music production world. Anyone with a good computer skill and know-how can create a lot of decent music.!..and to me this has really impinged heavily on skilled...trained musicians...the real deal! I find an awful lot of this on this site- disheartening to say the least! It's an ok platform to get your music heard....but honestly...give some time and you will see what I'm writing about! I wish you continued musical success-because from what I hear-You deserve it!!! TK-(Tony Keys)-BroGreede
Hey Tony, Very timely. I was just mentioning to a publisher on this site that strongly endorses my work that I'm not sure if Broadjam is a good fit for me. I am a published author, journalist so my focus is on lyrics with meaningful storylines. But I've been playing guitar and around music for a long time. I am not thrilled with the new middlemen, the music licensing guys, and I am not a singer or band member guy so my goal is a publishing deal. I am prolific and can write anything on spec in any genre. I will collab on quality projects. Thanks, CW
Okay. Let's get to the other sites issue. What is your pick for a more appropriate platform? My goal is to connect direct to producers and publishers. It seems broadjam is more about songwriters getting reviews from peers. I've been on for just 3 months or so. Thanks.
You guys are the most engaged and involved group that I see on Broadjam. I much appreciate this and your ongoing positive support of my songs. I've been holding back some because I am wondering if this is the right platform for me? But I'm going to push for a month or so and see if I can get to where I need to go. Thanks for tagging Head-Mines!
You got it CW, Hang in there! If this isn't the right platform for you, I am sure that you will find it or it will even find you with the quality music you produce! LC Team
Hey Dejuan, Thanks for the 5-star rating. I do rap, R&B, country, whatever. I will give a listen to your work bro. -CWA

Hi, Glad to get your friend request, I'm honored. As you may know, maybe you don't, I write in diverse genres specializing it tight, hooks that tell relatable, meaningful stories. I can do custom work with lyrics as well as instrumentals. Are you looking for something specific? yours, CW Anderson
Great to hear CW and congrats on your diverse talents...If interested in your services, We will reach out! LC Team
Thanks for the 5 star rating and I look forward to our first project!
Hey Steven, I forget to answer your question. Yes, I'd be up for collaborating. What do you in mind?
Please resend your email... I got an "Address not found" notice and the email I sent to you was not deleivered
Craig, I thought you might like to know... I got some really great news... I just wanted to share some pretty amazing news! The founder and CEO of Broadjam.com and VRY Music Publishing, Roy Elkins, heard 6 songs on my Broadjam profile and accepted them all for a licensing opportunity... But the really good news is that he offered me a publishing contract from my entire catalog of songs on Broadjam... My mentor in LA Andrea Stanley, who has been in the business for 40 years or more, knows Roy personally and thinks he's just one incredible standup guy with a zillion big-time connections in the music industry... I also called my cousin Doug of Creedence fame to see if he knew anything about Roy and even though he does not know Roy, he knows of him and gave the whole deal an enthusiastic thumbs up... Anyway, I should be signing the deal within a week or so and I thought you might want to know!!! And yes, let's talk about collaborating, I've got several songs that need to be recorded with new music and possible lyric edits... So let me know if you're still interested... Steven
Hey Steven: I am listening to a few of your songs. You've got that gritty country voice without the southern accent. Also, I like the story telling the lyrics feel authentic. I just signed up today and posted one song. Haven't even had the time to finish my profile. I'm strictly a songwriter/producer not a singer and do live in Vegas. I do a lot of country but pop and other genres as well. My best, Craig
CW... I finally heard back from my friend pitching my songs... his response is not exactly what I've been hoping for, but it's better than nothing and I know it's honest coming from Frank who pitches songs all the time! Here's his reply... " I send the music to the companies that I work with and they use the music (or not) as they see fit. Close to Love" looks like it is getting good airplay with one of my connections. The payments are a month about seven months past the end of the quarter in which they play." And he followed up with... " I send all of your music to my clients. The final decision isn't mine but I do have the ear of these clients that I work with." I'm assuming that these guys all work differently, but some extent pitch songs intently regardless of the way they do it... At least we get a taste of the process... Best... Steven
Love everything about Outlaw Tango CW!!! And thanks for reaching out with the friend request... You up for collaborating? I write lyrics and work with my buddy in Nashville, but I'm always looking for new songwriters to work with... Let me know...
Thanks. I just wrote you after listening to some of your songs. I am new today on here and in the beginning of a launch. I'll explain later. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my work and comment!
Hi Steven: Thanks for that great review and let me know if you have any projects that you want to collaborate on. -CW A
Craig... So if I send you something to work on, would you like just lyric sheet or a basic track demo that I used to create the melody for the lyrics?
Steven: Send a lyric sheet first. What genre?
Contemporary Country or maybe even progressive folk... What's your email address so I can send you a lyric sheet?
