SPONY songwriter pitch-a-thon will be held at the BMI New York offices at 320 W. 57th Street, 6:00–8:00pm - open to all. CD check in starts at 5:15 pm and the doors close at 6:30pm (unless capacity is reached before then). $20 Admission Fee (Cash Only). Fee entitles you to enter one song (Limit one song per person).
The panel of judges will include:
The Manager of A&R for Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Rock and Pop Division. He's looking for mainly rock with an Indie slant, but is open to all rock and pop;
An independent Music Supervisor and Film producer who is looking for "radio-ready" songs in all styles for placement in various film projects;
The Manager of Music for the McGarry Bowen ad agency. He states that he is looking for: "the genre of music depends on what the spot is BUT there are usually certain qualities that creatives are looking for. There seem to be 2 types of music for us. The first is super-emotional, layered songs/compositions with a huge arch or build. The other is usually light-hearted, quirky, and upbeat with a pop feel. A nice whistle or singing 'la la la' or words like 'happy' or 'I feel free' make it easy to slip into a spot. Either way there is usually a melody or theme in the song that carries throughout."
And, please don't forget your lyric sheets!
