Are they really the same thing?

Today, many artists write, record, produce, upload, perform and promote their own songs — but does that automatically make them professional songwriters?

And where does that leave the traditional songwriter who writes songs for OTHER artists?

In this eye-opening workshop, award-winning songwriter and mentor Jacques M. Gentil explores the often misunderstood difference between:
• Singer-songwriters
• Professional songwriters
• Recording artists
• Producers
• Topliners
• Lyricists
• Commercial writers

We’ll discuss:
🎤 Writing for yourself vs writing for the industry
🎤 Why some great singers are weak songwriters
🎤 Why many successful songwriters never perform publicly
🎤 Collaboration in modern songwriting
🎤 The rise of the independent artist
🎤 The difference between “performing songs” and “crafting songs”
🎤 How the music business sees these roles
🎤 Why this distinction matters more than ever today

Whether you are:
• an aspiring songwriter,
• an indie artist,
• a singer-songwriter,
• or simply curious about how the industry really works…
…this session will challenge the way you think about songwriting.
