  • As a songwriter, you could create your own album, or write for others, and develop a showcase of material to pitch to publishers.
  • As a producer, you could apply your skills to your own music or focus on producing for other artists.
  • Your focus on the music business could encompass anything from artist management to setting up your own promotions company or starting a record label.
