to work with.
My lyrics cover a range of genres: Pop, Rock, Country, Ballads, Inspirational, World, Blues and beyond, e.g. there's some Reggae and Hip-Hop in the mix as well.
Sample lyrics can be viewed at:

I'm looking to write/co-write songs that are of high commercial value.
Are you a talented composer/song-writer? Interested in the possibility of collaborating?
I'd like to work with composers/songwriters
who can sing (or know someone who can) with the facilities to record demo songs.
If the quality is high enough, this may be suitable for Demo purposes i.e. to send to publishers/artists etc.
Otherwise, we may need to consider having a Pro-demo made, if we agree that the song has real potential.
It would probably be best starting on a one song, one-off basis to begin with, to see how we go.
I would'nt want to waste your time or mine, if either of us felt the need to discontinue, at any time. The reasons don't matter as long as we let each other know.
If either of us feel that a song is not working, or don't wish to take it any further at some point that's O.K. This should not rule out the possibility of trying other songs.
**We simply need to agree that in such a case, we are free to use our respective lyric and melody any other way we wish.
**To help protect any finished songs, for both of us, I believe it is essential to complete a simple Partnership Agreement Form. Usually based on a 50/50 split regarding any royalties.
The International Songwriters Association, of which I am a member, has a simple but effective form that can used for this purpose. We would of course copyright any completed songs/demos.
NB. It is important to me that we agree on the two points ** above.
My general music interests cross film/ musicals/stage shows, light classical, instrumental, to artists & bands past & present.
I'm a member of the ISA (International Songwriters Association) and APRA (Australasian Performing Rights Association).
Our songs have to be very good, to stand any chance of success, before they are pitched to anyone. I study my craft, try to learn from the Pro's and continuously work at improving my writing. This is why I need quality composers -songwriters to work with.
In case that sounds a bit 'heavy' I'm a fairly laid back guy who enjoys writing in many areas, and has a good sense of humour.
I do believe that we both need to be sure that a song is completely finished, that we're totally happy with it, and that it is (of course) hit material!
If you are interested in collaborating, please let me know what YOUR ideas are, your musical influences and preferences. What instrument/s you play, and any recording facilities you may use. Plus any questions you may have & whatever else you want to say!
When you find a suitable lyric that you would like to compose a melody to, (links below) please e-mail me first. I have a few completed song Demo's here created with other collaborators. These are rough demos at present, requiring additional improvements to be made.
Contact me at: billyross@xtra.co.nz *Please put 'song writing' in the subject box.
Happy songwriting! & best wishes,
Billy Ross.
