In the last 10 years I've had over 150 songs recorded by major and indie artists. Those songs have been on numerous hit albums in Europe. Those albums have spent 21 weeks at #1, and two of them went gold. My songs have been on compilation albums alongside: Adele, Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Chris Brown, Dolly Parton, Janet Jackson, Lil Wayne, Maroon 5, One Republic, Rihanna, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, Usher and many other leading stars. I've also had many tracks used in advertisements and TV shows. In 2013 I won the American Songwriting Magazine Lyric Contest at my first attempt.

Hi, my name is David Campbell Jr. I'm originally from Glasgow, Scotland, but now live just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

I got my first song cut in 2007, and since then have had over 150 of my songs recorded by numerous artists in Europe. I pretty much write across the board and have had songs cut by Pop, Rock, Country, Americana, Blues, Electronic & R&B artists. I've even had one song recorded by an Opera quartet! Those songs have been on many hit albums and have spent a total of 21 weeks at #1 on the official charts of Switzerland & Austria.

What I'm offering is to critique your songs and teach you how to make them better and more commercial. I will NOT be co-writing the song with you, so I will NOT take any share of the royalties that the song may make.

There's a craft to writing great songs. We all love that initial burst of inspiration when ideas come quicker than we can write them down, but once that burst is over, that's when the craft comes in. It's the craft that adds the polish and can turn a decent song into a great one. The trick is not to polish it too much, and not lose the thing that made you excited about the song in the first place. That's one of the things I'll teach you. Also, if you know how to craft a song, then Writer's Block really becomes a thing of the past.

Once you've learned these lessons you can use them on any songs you write in the future.

Whether you want to write songs to record yourself or for others (and those can be two very different things), I'll show you how to write memorable melodies, heartfelt lyrics and innovative chord progressions. I won’t just tick the boxes that say, “Good Lyric”, “Good Melody”, etc. This will be a detailed critique of your song and every one will be unique. I can help you overcome the basic errors that 95% of songwriters make and help you make a very good living from your music.

I’m not saying that I’m the best songwriter in the world. I’m just saying that I know how to write songs that get cut and I can show you how to do it too.

I'm always looking for good co-writers, so maybe that will be something we can look at further down the line.

I look forward to working with you.
