Do you have anything on Soundcloud or iTunes you can share so we can all hear?

Nice DaveKell thanks for sharing your story. Have you released any album or singles on iTunes I can hear?

How many of you songwriters out there also produce and mix your own songs? If not, why? Would you consider learning how to mix songs in future? For me, I didn't start producing right away and picked up mixing years later but i've been writing for a long time (I had been paying someone to produce and mix for me before learning how to do it myself eventually). Reason why I didn't start learning how to properly use a DAW right away was because i tried and got too frustrated, so i stopped for awhile, got back into it, slowly got the hang of it. As for mixing, I didn't even care learning it, again i tried and thought it was too boring for me. Or maybe i just didn't have patience back then...:( It took me years to finally doing everything myself.

Have any of you ever thought about why you become a songwriter? I have heard alot of songwriters tell me they want to share their stories out there by turning them into a song form, well great, but as i continued to ask more, i found out many of them don't do anything with their songs after they wrote them. In my opinion if you want to share your crafts with the world you need to produce then distribute them, otherwise how else can people hear your stories and your art? Is it because they don't know how to use a DAW, or is it because hiring producers cost too much?
