About this episode
Welcome to Justin Hawkins Rides Again…the podcast where I discuss the pitfalls of the music trade and what it’s like working in this fickle industry.
This week is all about Publishing aka how songwriters make money. I’m joined by my producer Jenny May Finn who grills me on how I earn a living through through writing songs. How does it work?! What do you need to do if you want to become a professional songwriter and what are rules?
I try to explain all of this from my experience in the industry, writing for The Darkness and for other artists too.
Thank you so much for listening! Join me next Monday for another episode of Justin Hawkins Rides Again.
