What if discovering the next great songwriter became the show?
Songwriters write the songs the world sings, but most audiences never know their names.
Project SongWrite is a reality competition built around the people behind the music. Undiscovered songwriters compete by creating original songs around genres, themes, artists, emotions and real-world creative challenges.
Their songs are performed and released to the public. But instead of simply voting for a favorite contestant, audiences help determine which songs have real value through listening, sharing—and ultimately purchasing.
The question isn't simply:
Who is the best songwriter?
It's:
Which songs does the world actually want?
HOW PROJECT SONGWRITE WORKS
Project SongWrite turns songwriting into a competition audiences can participate in—not just watch.
Each challenge gives songwriters a creative assignment. One week might be a ballad. Another could be reggae, R&B, country, techno or a song written for a particular artist or moment.
The songwriters create. Artists perform. The audience listens.
But here's the twist:
The audience doesn't just vote. The market votes.
Songs can be released during the competition, allowing listening, sharing, streaming and purchasing to become signals of which songs people actually want.
A great song doesn't have to wait until the show is over to become a hit.
THE SHOW IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Project SongWrite starts as entertainment, but the larger opportunity is to build an ecosystem around discovering, testing and developing songs.
Today, songwriters, artists, producers, audiences, streaming platforms and the music industry often encounter a song at different stages of its journey.
What if we connected them earlier?
Project SongWrite could create that connection.
The competition discovers songwriting talent.
The audience helps identify songs with real demand.
Artists discover music they may want to perform.
Producers discover writers and songs they may want to develop.
Streaming platforms gain music audiences are already engaging with.
And the songs themselves don't disappear when an episode ends.
They become the product.
Project SongWrite begins as a show. It could become an infrastructure for discovering what the world wants to hear.
This is where the story stands today. Now CiteShare wants to know what you see in it.
