Parents know that it’s not easy to make a living in the music industry. For one successful songwriter, it took a lot of hard work and dedication to achieve success. With a top 10 chart position around the world, this songwriter had to become knowledgeable in the legal and financial aspects of the music business. This allowed them to anticipate costs for albums and videos, and to estimate potential profits. Despite this success, they still had to work full time with children to pay their bills, while dedicating the rest of their time to writing, recording, and performing their original songs. To produce a top quality album, they relied on full funding from Kickstarter and worked with experienced musicians and producers. With the album released, they chose to make songs from the album available for free to the public, so that children everywhere could enjoy their work.
