The Five Songwriter Types in 2022

[@dave-spencer-music]

I'm a bouncy driver. I mostly write by myself and lead 3 bands, but I also like to listen and offer suggestions. When I over-thought things, I could never finish songs; now I just let them flow, and fix them later. Thanks for the video!

[@morgansimpson315]

My default is the Bouncer. If there’s no ideas I’m gonna bring one! I can become a driver if I’m in charge of the project as a man artist or a producer. I listen to lots of CCM and Worship music but I love everything from Beethoven and film scores to piano rock. I love Switchfoot, Newsboys, John Marc McMillian, Brandon Lake, For King and Country, Handel, Chopin, Billy Joel, and Nicole Nordeman to give a sampling of mymusical influences.

[@gregkocis]

Thanks, I feel like I have a little of each depending on who I'm working with.

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Awesome

[@narrowroad1204]

Thank u my partner and I have gone through all these scenarios at one time or another over the last 7 years. So happy u have names for them .😁😁

[@brittanymackiemusic]

Driver/Editor combo!

[@OfficialFCMusic]

solid combination!

[@caitlin_star]

I'm an Enneagram 9 and totally the Thinker!

[@MatthewChambersMusic]

I'm a thinker/editor for sure.

[@oldgoatsongwriting]

I’m a bouncer but have recently tried to become a thinker, I need to find myself an editor. The is video was so original. I really enjoyed it

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Thanks for the Kind Words Old Goat Songwriting! Cheers.

[@fredepps3196]

Primarily a thinker, with bits of tastemaker and bouncer thrown in. It’s quite common for me to get into some kind of music and then watch it blow up a year later.

[@davidasteed]

great video. I tend to adapt to the room and fill the needed void: need a bouncer? let met get started tossing ideas out there. need the thinker? gimme a minute. Song too long? Let's edit that second verse length. the one i least identify with is the Tastemaker...i won't necessarily know for certain if Joe/Jane Normal will like the track

[@juliedelgado3703]

Nice video! I think I am a thinker 😮

[@djmaineycashe]

At my essence I’m a taste maker I fell in love with underground music as a kid I love small bands and local rappers but I also seem to find the ones that end up blowing up in my productions I have to be the driver because I make the beat I write the song and I record and mix myself

[@jaylankford6502]

the driver would be my first thought although the taster has qualites i relate as well but in the end the driver

[@AmyFox-h4y]

I would say, I'm a bouncer. I usually can come up with a lot of ideas. Also a thinker and a perfectionist on creating my own lyrics.

[@narrowroadmusic2]

This was interesting and important to know especially just starting out. Thank you Seth. I lean into the driver role.

[@OfficialFCMusic]

That's awesome to hear, Robin!

[@StarsInJune]

Great stuff.

[@CynthiaDeMoss]

I am new to formal song-writing process but/and I would say I would probably be a bouncing tastemaker at this juncture. Very much enjoyed this video!~

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Thanks for sharing! Love it

[@dougdevenski2362]

I feel like my main are The Bouncer and Tastemaker. I float around as The Thinker too. Personally having an Editor is my perfect match. The Driver makes me want to walk out the door each time (whether or not they are having a good or bad day) haha!

[@melyndamariebly7]

I am still learning about myself. I would say I am a bouncer and a tastemaker. I am enneagram type 6.

[@OfficialFCMusic]

Thanks for sharing, Melynda! Peace!

[@riksinha5]

Hey, I have a question, How to find the best songwriter. I mean it's obvious, but mostly all hit songs have a pool of songwriters. So how do I find the one I need?

[@Hit_or_miss911]

If that be the case, I'm the thinker here

[@OfficialFCMusic]

That's awesome. Which musicians inspire you?

[@Hit_or_miss911]

@@OfficialFCMusic Jamie Grace, Lauren Diagle, Frank Edwards, Casting Crowns...

[@DuranInternational]

where can I find co writers?

[@marksmusings670]

I’m a thinker.

[@Share_Musician_Love]

I’m a thinker and editor

[@JedBayes]

Definitely the thinker and wanna be driver haha

[@OfficialFCMusic]

love it!
