You may not actually want to write a Hit Song. That is OK. I was one of those songwriters.
I wrote for my own pleasure. I wrote because I wanted to purge my soul, express myself, and splash my ethos on the page. I wrote for my albums, for my desires, for my own pursuit of ‘becoming’. Writing a Hit Song seemed daunting to me. Actually, it made me feel as if I would be required to succumb to mainstream peer pressure and simply write to what I perceived as the lowest common denominator.
I didn’t really didn’t understand it until more recently, when I realized that writing Hit Worthy Songs could actually be pleasurable, and bring me success. I’ve spent the best part of the last two decades exploring, writing and performing songs. It has been my number one quest, and joy.
It wasn’t until 7 albums in, many worldwide tours, a multitude of songwriting awards and building the largest songwriters non-profit organization in the world, Songsalive!, that I realized there was MORE to just writing good songs, great songs, and heck, Hit Songs.
It had to start with me, as a songwriter, and my relationship to writing, and my relationship with the music business.

Hi, I'm Gilli Moon.
I am a songwriter. I’ve written and placed hundreds of songs, recorded and released albums, created big artist and songwriting communities, and I coach. I’ve met and supported many songwriters and artists (in the vicinity of several thousand, whom I know by name).
I'm also an Entrepreneur. A creative disrupter, Artist, Songwriter, Author, Record Label owner, Mother and Life Passion Seeker. I've toured the world as a singer and musician with the likes of Eric Idle, Simple Minds and worked for will.i.am, plus built awesome communities, brands, businesses, digital products and websites catering to empowering and advancing creatives and entrepreneurs.
I've published 3 books on Amazon for creative folk like you, and love coaching songwriters and artists. I’ve run many songwriting workshops, after learning from many of the greats. I live and breathe music and (for better or for worse) I understand the music business.
I don't tell you all this to boast of my talents. I share this with you so you can be inspired that you can have it all too, like I feel I've achieved my dreams. And to show you that it takes gumption, courage and a whole lot of hard work to get to a successful artist career. I’ve had my fair share of successes, and I’ve certainly had that same fair share of rejection.
And this is what I have learned: A Hit Song starts with the writing.
You can’t fix a poor song structure in production, or mixing; and you certainly can’t make it fix a bad song with marketing, money or distribution. If it’s not a good song (a great, superb song) in the crafting of it, no amount of money or push will make it successful. It must start with the SONG itself, while remaining CONSCIOUS of what else will come into play.

Have you ever felt the struggle of writing dozens, if not hundreds, of songs,
only to still be waiting for that 'break'?
Have you committed a lifetime to writing and pitching or performing songs,
all the while seen other songwriters,
some even in your own community,
made it with Hit Songs while you're still waiting....?
Are you feeling the financial pinch?
Are you spending money recording songs and trying to make a living with your music,
but still having to do the 9-5 job?
Are you spending months, perhaps years,
crafting the perfect song so that it can become a Hit?
It's time to write that hit song and be rewarded for it!

I would like to say thanks for the in depth information in your book. I have just finished reading your book, "The 360 Songwriter," from cover to cover and each section was informative, but most of all I could connect & relate to the writing process you mentioned. What stood out for me is owning your identity as an artist. I’m inspired to write a couple pages of rhymes daily…”

I was completely overwhelmed with running my own business, and pretty unorganized when I first started working with Gilli.... She helped me to organize my thoughts, goals and direction, and to find out what my truth was... "what was success to me?" ... She inspires me to be my best, and to give myself the best chance to follow my dreams. I was my biggest road block. Gilli genuinely cares about me and about helping me follow my dreams; I'm sure she's the same way with all of her clients. Her energy, honesty, passion and heart are an inspiration to me. I'm truly grateful for her support and guidance in my life. |
