What does a music writer do?

As a music writer, your job is to compose songs and write lyrics, often for other people to play. This involves writing a melody and adjusting songs to the needs of your clients. While many music writers create and sell their work for professional recording artists to perform, you can also write scores for films or commercials. Some details of this job depend on your employer. Many music writers produce songs independently and try to sell their work to artists, but you can also work full-time work for entertainment companies like movie studios or video game developers. Music writers are also known as songwriters and music composers.
