At Must Have Music, we emphasize great songs and songwriting.  We pride ourselves in offering a place to find hands on information about the music business. We have articles on songwriting, singing, melody, lyrics, how to become a published writer, copyright information, producing and placing original music, and establishing your career in music.

Our website is for beginning artists and songwriters as well as seasoned professionals. We are affiliated with BMI, CCLI & NARAS, and other Professional Songwriter Organizations that come together in order to protect all sorts of Intellectual Property. We celebrate great songs and songwriting. We hold free songwriting contests, open pitch calls for songs and artists, occasionally produce records for our own record label, and produce special products.  We sponsor a free online Newsletter E-zine, the Must Have Music News, where we publish (and welcome) articles written by Industry Professionals. We have been working professionally in both Songwriting and Music Publishing in California since the mid-1990s, with an emphasis on the Film and Television Industries.
