Anybody here a composer? and want to let their music out? Because I am and i want to know how do i get my songs out into the public…is it worth making cds nowadays?
Males can,easily.
My friends and I have the Kol Isha issue.
i’m a composer and producer.
the best way to get ur songs out there is to have it recorded professionally with music and vocals (preferably with a pleasant voice worth listening to) and email it to either a singer or a producer (or both) and taking it on from there.
regarding making cd’s, u should only do it if 1) u have a LOT of $$ to spare* and 2) u have a really nice voice (and that should be others opinions not ur own)
good luck
*making cd’s are EXTREMELY expensive and most people go broke from making one
I’m still broke just from ADVERTISING a film!!
put it on the net so people can dowload the MP3…

You could compose instrumentals. Or have other people sing your songs.

“I’m still broke just from ADVERTISING a film!!”
Unh-uh, you were broke way before you even dreamed of this film!
as a fellow creative soul i understand your frustration as there is no good creative outlet if you are looking to turn a profit.
Any musician nowadays will tell you that the money is in licensing or in live performance and since Hollywood movies and commerical radio station arent lining up to add Jewish music to their repitoire you are stuck with the live performace.
In the religious community since concerts are banned the only way to make it would be to have a simcha band and just play as many weddings as possible to the point where you become popular enough that an album might sell enough copies to break even.
I know what its like to have the music inside you and want to share it with as many people as possible but not being able to..it’s frustrating and sometimes make you even resent your gift.
Do not despair as your answer will come to you.
My final piece of advice is to make sure you have a written contract before you “sell” any of your songs or concepts to another artist. (Although I dont understand how you can copywrite jewish music since either Hashem or Dovid Hamelech wrote the words anyway)
composer,you’re lucky he’s offering to BUY the concept.
I’ve had someone hear my song,reject it,and then USE the concept.
That was the first and last time I used the heter of “recorded” kol isha. Even the song that was used is an “unknown”.
I am not blaming one specific person;a few were involved,but I know if my songs are ever to “make it out there”,it’s gonna be done L’chatchila only!!
Health: True!!
composer, u sound veeeerrry familiar…when did u discover yeshivaworld? thru me? lol! everyone, her songs are famouse around the world, and she never earned a penny off it (she didnt mind)
i love girls singing wish someone would come out with a cd…
dancinggirl-WOW you make things OBVIOUS!!! composer- your songs rock the house if you make a proffesional cd of all your songs EVERYONE would buy it…..
I also love boys singing!! (only jewish!!)
