I joined NSAI back in 2017 and spent the first year sending in my songs for evaluation and I was disappointed when all of the feedback was about unclear lyrics and dated melodies. Once I got over the initial shock I started to incorporate their input into my songs and, lo and behold, the quality of my songs started to improve. By the time 2020 rolled I was able to pen 9 "One to Watch" songs as designated by NSAI evaluators. Does that mean I'm a pro songwriter? Of course not, but since my goal has always been to have others record my songs I knew that had to appeal to today's market, which I am getting better at. Regardless of whether a publsiher ever picks up one of my songs or not, I can say I am enjoying much more success (and the entire process as well) now then before NSAI.


Hey Dewey, I joined NSAI back on Jan 1 of this year. I agree, NSAI is a great resource. The videos from the pros alone are worth the price of admission. I am very curious to hear how you are using BIAB in your process, and checked out your page at NSAI as well as your Sound Cloud page! I live in Jax, but just affiliated with your Mid-Michigan chapter!
