Write your own songs. If you really want to step out as a singer and performer, you can also begin writing your own material. Concentrate on writing songs in whatever style and whatever form you enjoy the most, but always look for opportunities to expand and develop your art.
- You can write both music and lyrics yourself, or work with a collaborator to develop one or the other.
- If you play an instrument, use it to help you compose your musical ideas, even if you plan for a song to eventually use a different instrument.
- Keep a notebook to jot down any musical or lyrical ideas whenever inspiration strikes you, or use an app on your phone to take notes or record songs.
