The artist describes her commitment to constant revision as a trait of a perfectionist rather than trying to prove something.

“there's a difference between having something having something to proove and being a perfectionist so let's make sure we talking about like which one we're talking about you talking about being a perfectionist okay that's right so so with me um I will always in people's mind in eyes when and ears wh”

He believes that the process of struggling through writing music is a necessary form of discipline for improvement.

“It's like I hate myself I hate the song I suck but like fighting through it is like kind of the part where you get better”

She believes that songwriting is a profession that requires a disciplined work ethic, often treating it like a full-time job to achieve success and maintain longevity in the music industry.

“I remember early on thinking a song would be precious and that would slow me down actually because it's like nope next. And I wouldn't I just next song next song next song next song. And I would treat those early years that I was here and didn't have anything going on. I would wake up and you know j”

Writing songs based on real, personal experiences was a turning point that helped him improve his music.

“so up until then i probably i was writing songs and i'd learned how to like craft a song but i wasn't like writing anything with any like [ __ ] like meaning or like yeah like i was all kind of making up stories or whatever just like they weren't really about anything”

An artist must choose songs that resonate personally with them, rather than attempting to guess what the audience wants.

“I think you got to chase what you want to hear and what you want to play. And look, my taste is not going to match up with everybody's taste and probably less and less people's taste as the days go forward.”

He believes that songwriting should be driven by genuine passion rather than a rigid professional schedule.

“I write because I can't sit here thinking about this and not write this down. I've got to stop what I'm doing and and go right. That's why I want to write song. It should be out of an abundance of passion”

Collaborating with a supportive, nurturing mentor can transform and build confidence for songwriters.

“Thank you for always letting Wendy and China and I express our creativity and building our confidence as songwriters and singers and arrangers.”

A mentor can see the creative vision and potential in a songwriter before they have achieved success.

“You heard that sound and you know you just you just knew you saw the vision from that moment.”

Developing a group's sound and understanding the art of songwriting is best achieved through patient, collaborative mentorship.

“We quickly realized his articulate nature and his incredible musical abilities, and we felt safe under his wing as he patiently helped us develop our group's sound. And he taught us about the art of songwriting.”

The musical structure and the beat dictate the lyrical content rather than relying on pre-written verses.

“The beat is going to tell me what to write. You know, so I never That's why I was never good at having pre-written verses and then hearing a beat and putting it on there because this this beat didn't tell me to say this verse.”

Rodrigo Dávila prioritizes phonetic sound over lyrical content when composing songs.

“many times I suddenly say, it has to sound like 'e' with 'e' and if it were 'e' with 'o' it wouldn't rhyme as nicely, but maybe the idea would be more with 'no más conclus', that is, more forceful if you read it like a letter, but I always go with the phonetics.”

Jozzy asserts that songwriters are systematically mistreated in the music industry regarding payment, lack of credit, and general lack of respect.

“The label treat you like [ __ ] They don't want to give you points. They want to get a producer everything like the like Iard. Like so. All right. So, take my lyrics off and put the goddamn producer [ __ ] on the radio.”

Joe Budden believes that songwriters deserve credit and acknowledgement for their work rather than being treated as ghostwriters.

“If you get an opportunity to spread your wings, I could [ __ ] around and leave you. I have. Maybe that is I I really been I think I slept on it and tried to come up with an idea like an answer for that cuz I really don't know, bro. Like I don't know.”
