Welcome back to Trainee to Stadium, I am Farah Nadhirah. This week, a question fans ask all the time and rarely get a straight answer to: who actually writes the songs. The honest answer is often a team of three people in a rented studio in Stockholm, working from a two-page brief sent by an agency in Seoul. My guest is a songwriter who has attended many of these song camps, and he is going to walk us through a week: the brief, the teams, the one-song-a-day rule, the demo pitch on Friday, and then the long quiet months where a demo either becomes a title track or disappears. We will also talk about splits and how a writer gets paid, because nobody explains that part. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts.
