How to write your first song and find listeners: singer Katya Kudos explains

Songs come to me by themselves. For example, I can walk down the street and then a line or phrase appears in my head. And right away with a melody! The main thing is to catch the motive and not forget it. For example, in moments of inspiration at school, I covered notebook covers with texts. And when I finished the first full-fledged song, I just sang it into the voice recorder of an old mobile.

What topic will hook listeners is a matter of chance. For example, if a love drama is unfolding in my life, I want to listen to the track “for suffering” with a similar story and a melody that catches the soul. If the mood is good - something fun. So write songs that are close to you. There will always be a listener and in any situation!

Study charts and news, work on your skills, look at listeners' comments and analyze them. Periodically ask yourself what kind of artist you want to be, what you can do and how you can grow.

Don't forget that everyone has their own path. And yours will definitely lead to the goal, but in due time. Be sincere, work hard, enjoy creativity, and good luck will be with you.

It is quite possible to record a track at home. There are many applications for creating music, such as GarageBand. For sound, you can buy a microphone or a lavalier, and some of my friends write tracks even into a wired earphone. I know that there are popular artists who create entire albums at home and sound as good as others.

But for high-quality sound mixing, you need to be well versed in the nuances of the process and study a lot. If the flow of creativity is constant, it is difficult to find time for this - you can get tired and burn out. In my opinion, in this case it is more productive to delegate the work to a professional with their own studio and equipment.

Social networks definitely help a lot in distributing and promoting tracks. The more subscribers and the more active the audience, the greater the likelihood of listening, downloading and buying a track. As a result, popularity and income are growing. But remember that other factors also affect the fate of the song, including the choice of a distributor or label that will help release music and promote it.
