So You're Ready to CO-WRITE... but where do you find people to write songs and collaborate with?

/// NEW ONLINE COURSE! 'The Art of Co-Writing & Collaboration' -howtowritesong...
Some of the greatest music ever made is the result of co-writing and collaboration... think Elton John and Bernie Taupin, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Carol King and Jerry Goffin. But how and where do we find other songwriters or artists to work with? And what are we looking for in a collaborator?
In this video we take you through a range of strategies and practical ways to connect with other musicians and songwriters who, just like you, are looking for that next exciting project.

ABOUT KEPPIE
I'm Keppie. I'm a professional songwriter, and songwriting teacher. I've been teaching song and lyric writing for over 10 years now for some of the best contemporary music colleges in the world-Berklee Online, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music's Open Academy, as well as for the Australian College of the Arts. At other times, I've taught for the Australian Institute of Music, as well as the LA School of Songwriting.
My goal is to help people write better songs! My experience in the classroom, with thousands of students at this point (many going on to find careers and success in music), is that your songwriting, like all things, can get better with meaningful, deliberate practice. My intention is to share the skills, knowledge, information, and ideas that I've gathered with anyone who wants to improve their songwriting.

Cool vid. Thank you. Super relevant to me. Someone who writes complete tracks then requires vox/lyrics/top lines. Have quite a few backed up so keen to see whether they can spark something in someone else. Finding and connecting with other artists that possess what you don't is a challenge. The logistics of online collabs is not too hard. Send an mp3 backing track and some lyrics and vague instructions for interpretation. Then hope they can nail it.
