Hey! It’s Dan Rivers. I’ve always enjoyed talking to fellow songwriters about trying to get our songs heard. We’re all in the same boat – no it’s not the Titanic. No one-- NO ONE can duplicate what you’re doing. No one feels the magic like you do.
I want to show you how to get the idiots (music professionals) to listen to your art. I’ll tell you how to break the door down, go around it or blow it up (figuratively speaking). How to sharpen your craft to write the undeniable song (Any cut). Tips and details on the craft that will lift your art to get the listener to feel what’s already in your heart.
