Quote:Getting Into Songwriting w/ Triple Platinum Songwriter Drew Lawrence

...Over the last three years the career growth of one musician in particular has been extremely fun to watch. Los Angeles based songwriter, Drew Lawrence has balanced music, life, family, and bills to build a sustainable career in music over that span. A classically trained Pianist and graduate of Berklee College of Music, Drew has a career record that includes gigging around LA, a few west coast and US tours, teaching music lessons to families in Beverly Hills and a more recent focus in songwriting for heavy hitters like Christina Perri, Kelly Clarkson and a ton of up and comers.

Quote:I love to write with the artist whenever possible. The pitching game is tricky and very political. There are thousands of writers and producers in the country trying to get a cut with an artist like Rihanna or Pink. The truth is, there are only a few writers and producers that end up getting those cuts. The best route is to think a little left. Write the songs no one else is writing. Also, write with the unknown artists that are on their way up. Make sure they have a good team i.e. publisher or manager and ride up with them. Christina Perri was an unsigned waitress when I worked with her. But she was managed by Bill Silva.

... (Christina Perri) was a waitress at the time although she did have a deal with Jason Mraz’s management company. I usually only write with artists if they have either a record deal, a publishing deal or a really good manager. My friend who produced the song knew her manager and so we took a week to work with her in the very early stages of her career.

He co-wrote "Jar of Hearts."
