Your best bet is to network with other people in your industry, and see who needs songs. Go to events, join related forums and the like. The more people who make your genre of music you have connections with, the more likely you are to find someone in need of songs. Good luck.

I am a composer, mainly of contemporary classical but I also love to listen and make songs. Although I play bits of several instruments and sing decently, I don’t think I’m a good performer, nor I have the leadership or charisma to lead a band. What advice would you give to someone that intends to be only a composer? Like, how to ‘pitch’ songs for artists to sing?

Busking is definitely one way to make money from your music, and one that I’ve been meaning to write about for some time. Your comment may have just given me the push I need to sit down and write it. ;)

With regards to whether or not you should work with a band, it would depend on two things:

Firstly, if it’ll give a better final product.

Secondly, if it’ll make your life easier. You may not like working with bands, but will they save you time and energy in the long run? Especially as you wouldn’t have to do all the work yourself, and they could possibly help with promotion of your new compositions.

It’s really up to you, but generally having more people on board does make things easier (If you choose serious people of course). That said, if you’re not strong you could loose some creative control. Other views can be a good thing sometimes though as other people can come up with some good ideas you may not have thought about by yourself.

Let me know what you decide. :)

As a multitalented instrumentalist, Who has not yet earnt a great deal from business out there, there are certainly many ways to earn including busking, selling cd’s WHILST busking, free gigs (in the short term to get your name heard)… Realistically, the possibilities and endless!

I would like to start composing music for artists to perform, which of course is a struggle as I don’t work well in bands.. Would you suggest I find a band to perform these songs or stay as a single artist? Advice would be astronomically helpful, which of course if I ever made a living from this 1 thing I am good at, I would certainly help fund the site and help expand for other trainees to learn :)
