Hire a Lyricist

Description

​Lyricists are creative writers who craft the words to songs for entertainment, artistic, or commercial purposes. They may work with preexisting musical scores, collaborate with composers or musicians directly, or write words that will later be set to music.

Lyricists use their knowledge of music and creative writing skills to write lyrics. Unlike songwriters, Lyricists are not responsible for the instrumental sections, but they may collaborate with songwriters and musicians. Lyricists are familiar with different genres and are able to write lyrics that connect with their audience.

Lyricist Key Responsibilities:

• Knowledge of song specifications, audience and genres;
• Listening to proposed melodies to determine the style, tone, and mood of the song before writing;
• Collaborating with composers, singers, musicians, artists, and various other professionals;
• Writing lyrics for acapella singing or that complement instrumentals;
• Positively receiving client feedback and making required revisions;
• Ensuring all work is original and obtaining copyrights for it.
