Hi guys. Thanks for your replys. Sorry I haven't been around much of late. Been busy. Will try to be a more regular visitor in future.

Mick Jagger was the guy that made me want to be a singer. Johnny Rotten was the guy that gave me the confidence to get up their. People say I sound like Dylan, Cohen, Lou Reed etc. I ain't no Freddie Mercury sadly.

Haha Like it Savannah. How long have you been waiting to use that one or do you use it on all the noobs?

Thanks for the heads up Tom. Will check it out.

Dear All, Hi. My name is Spike Summers. I started writing lyrics when I was around 14. Formed a punk band at 17 in the late 70s. I was the lead singer and collaborated with the guitarist to write songs. Later I learned to play guitar, a little piano and music production and started writing complete songs myself. I have pretty much been in and out of bands ever since and have been writing songs all that time. However up until now I have just written for myself and the bands I was working with, but today I had a thought that I might have a go at writing lyrics professionally for other people (Primarily in the rock/pop genre for both male or female artists or duets). This was the first website I came across and I was hoping that you guys might point me in the write direction. Professional Organisations? Unions? Copyright? Where to go to find collaborators? Where to advertise myself? etc. As I am new to this area of the business any help you could give me would be much appreciated. Spike
