This site is built for songwriters, musicians, lyricists, and their fans!

CAN MUSIC BRING US ALL TOGETHER? THIS SITE WILL INCLUDE ORIGINAL WORKS BY ARTISTS, COMPOSERS, AND OTHER PRODUCERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!!!!!  LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!

Welcome to the World's first place where you can sell, hear, and/or buy original songs, instrumentals, beats, and original lyrics, all in one place. You can hear songs and music before they are cut by major stars. You can read the lyrics to new songs, or lyrics that have yet to be made into songs. Plus, you can rate all of these for how much you like them. And, you can even chat with the artists who create these works!  You can promote yourself as a singer, musician, or songwriter with a URL to send MEMBERS directly to your profile where you can post your songs, instrumentals, beats, and/or lyrics for them to hear, read, or buy.

This is a great place for musical acts that want to have their own new original songs.  No more just doing covers when you can own the works! Plus, this site is much more than all this.

Even Fans will be required to pay a small membership fee for access where they will gain user support, so they will have ability to listen, comment on, and rate the work of the singers, musicians, and songwriters. They can be members of groups or they can even create their own.

We still have some work to do, and that's why we offer a long trial period for new members, But this is intended to be the world's most complete music site for original songs, instrumentals, beats, and lyrics! This is a commission and royalty free site!  You keep all your commissions and/or royalties when you sell your copyrights for songs, music, lyrics, or beats through Songpress!  In fact, we will not be handling your monies for this at all. All sales will be processed between the buyer and the seller directly as with any classified ads sites. While the site will not accept any responsibility for their action, the site will allow reviews of buyers and sellers in order to weed out any dishonest individuals. Individuals who fail to properly complete transactions for which they have advertised, in accordance with those advertisements, will be removed from the site!

This site includes your ability for selling streaming of your music, but will not currently include the sales of licensing for songs/music/lyrics for cover and/or synch.  See the Blog for why!  And please note, should anyone want to buy a license for performing your work, they can contact you via Private Notes and negotiate that with you directly, if you are willing.

This is a group collaboration site for song/lyric writers to gain peer reviews.  Members will be able to comment on the songs/lyrics posted by others, and others will be able to comment on those that you post for this reason.

This is a site whereon songwriting group managers can create and manage their own groups.  This includes group memberships, group calendars, group communications, and much more.

For Bands/Groups:

All the same features of a songwriter, but separated for sorting and contacting purposes.

Notes:

For songwriters, we already have four demo production companies listed on the Services menu, and we will be working on adding much more to our Services section.

All users have chat, private notes, support tickets, and more!  I also have big hopes and plans for much, much more as this site grows.

I’m working to explain how you can already sell streams and sell song licenses and copyrights. I also hope you will be able to allow pitch to publishers, gain pro mentoring evaluations, find songwriting collaborators, and much more.  I’m hoping to make many more connections in the music business since I now live in the Nashville area.  I have already made some!

I hope you will join me to help make Songpress.org the best songwriter’s, singers, and musicians site on the web!
