Welcome to SongCraft Collective!
Please introduce yourself! I'll make myself very accessible to this group, so please ask any questions, any time! I’m Gabe Schillman – 27-year full-time independent artist, 12 years as a contract writer in Nashville, TN with songs produced by Ted Perlman (Bob Dylan, Burt Bacharach, Whitney Houston) & global promotional deals with KJG Media & promotions, Mr. Kayden Gordon, #1 independent music promoter in the country. My greatest achievement is that I've been able to make a living as a songwriter for over half a century, independently! I want to share my insight, experience, and resources with you! Starting right now: • Daily posts & prompts • Weekly live Office Hours with me • 5-Day Co-Write Demo Week Dec 16–20 (everyone finishes a real song together) • One official Collective single released before Christmas • Song of the Month voting starts Dec 15 Grammy Award winning producer, Ted Perlman starts weekly 20-minute live Q & A/ pitch opportunities in January for Hitmaker Pro and Inner Circle. Additionally, monthly guest appearances bringing top industry expertise from Kayden Gordon (#1 Independent music promoter in the country), Jason Joel Harris (Award winning filmmaker).- All have signed on and are committed to giving you the best information, guidance, and opportunity to become the best songwriter in the business! Drop a 🎸 below and tell us one song you want to write in 2026. The room is open. Let’s write some hits. — Gabe

What are your thoughts on A.I. in music?

Playlist & Radio Submission Services... Masked Payola?
Quick question for the Collective: These playlist & radio submission services (where you pay for guaranteed reviews or curator access) — are they: A) Smart, legitimate marketing tools in today’s indie game B) Basically pay-to-play / payola in disguise C) Somewhere in the gray?
Is Streaming the Villain
Is streaming killing real songwriting — or saving it? Streaming changed everything. Shorter intros. Chorus-first. Viral hooks over deep cuts. Some say it’s dumbing down art — forcing 2-minute TikTok bangers. Others say it’s democratizing music. What’s your take? Is streaming the villain… or the hero? Drop it below. Let’s debate. #SongCraftCollective
