Helpful Guide on How to Write Independent Artists Music

Everyone can write independent artists music without any formal training, gather a fan base, and even have several hits on the radio as well as on YouTube. You can write rock, reggae, Celtic, or country music, even if you are a solo artist or just a band member. It is just easy to learn how to write indie music most especially with the help of the tips listed below:

•    Select the instrument that will reflect your style. An independent musician knows how to write using guitar, piano, flutes, brass instruments, or even a kazoo. You must choose an instrument that you are comfortable with and compose a melody or a riff.
•    Be able to write catchy and individualistic lyrics. It can be about a lover or a zoo trip that is written with an intellectual, historic reference at least in a song. It will make your song stand out from the others on the internet and on the radio, and will also give your band an identity.
•    As independent artists, music you write should have a distinctive vocal style. You can look for inspiration from the vocals of the bands Strokes, the Killers, or the subdued style of My Morning Jacket. You must fit the vocal phasing so it will be matched with the lyrics and melody.
•    You can rewrite your song even if it already sounds perfect. Refine the lyrics and riffs until they sound exactly like you want them to be; do it even if takes you hours or nights to finish it. Then, you have to perfect all your instruments - bass, guitars, keyboards, and drums - until your music has a very distinctive and seamless sound.
•    You must record all of your music’s demo versions. Most of the time, the indie artist releases several versions of his music. The recorded version of a certain song is somewhat different from the MP3 or CD version.

Writing independent artists music also needs you to be talented in playing instruments. You must have musical talent so your songwriting task will not be difficult for you. Remember that you should not over-think every time you create your own music. Everything will come easily to you if you don’t think so hard about it. Like in any kind of songs, you will be able write a perfect song with the help of an inspiration. Just continue writing because you also have the time refining your song after you finished writing.
