Write Your Lyrics
and Melody to Professional
Backing Tracks

VOLUME 2 NOW AVAILABLE!
A great tool for songwriters at all levels, each volume of My Co-Writer™ features original music tracks ready for YOUR melody and lyrics. These royalty-free Song Starts™ are professionally produced, live backing tracks that provide a great foundation for your own composition. It’s like having an out-of-town collaborator serving up great songs for you to finish. Because the tracks were specifically written and recorded without significant melodic hooks, they will inspire your own unique melody -- not dictate one. So every song you write will be fundamentally different from someone else with the same Song Start. Plus, if you're a musician, adding your own instrumentation or mix can make yours a totally unique production. My Co-Writer is a great tool for everyone from novice songwriters, to seasoned composers, to instrumentalists who need a live backing band to jam with. Choose one of three formats/prices for three levels of usability. Click here to listen.

Why My Co-Writer?
Pro songwriters conceive songs in a variety of ways. Some write most of the lyric first, some start with an instrument riff, others develop the lyrics at the same time as the melody. Some even write lyrics to a pre-existing melody. But one proven and popular method of writing a song is to start with a track and "writing to it." The track is used to inspire the mood, tone and direction of the song.

What we've done with My Co-Writer is taken this method of writing to a totally new level. Whether you play an instrument or not, My Co-Writer is a great way to write songs -- and great way to learn about writing songs.
