They have a broad skillset including vocal performance technique and the technological know how to be self-reliant, so they write and record their songs before they go to market.<br/><br/>Professional songwriters write all the time, not just when the mood takes them. They hear toplines and can craft interesting lyrics that paint pictures in the mind of the listener. They write songs that cross and blend genres, straddle the experimental and the commercial, whatever the brief requires. They write with others, sparking creativity from their ideas and input; collaboration is always key.
