We all love music, the tunes, composition, and its videography but most importantly what makes the song is how it is written. There are so many songwriters across the globe, all make their living of this talent but very few are able to make a serious amount of money from songwriting. And we wonder who could be the richest songwriter.

Sometimes you can hear that composing music is not difficult, and that anyone can do it. Yes, anyone can do it, but not everyone is capable of making really interesting music. Writing a song is more than just being the author. Yes, everyone has the tools for creativity (at least, most likely, there is a brain), but not everyone gets public recognition. Having instruments alone will not make a person a successful musician. Successful authors work to develop their abilities often – every day.

Composers and writers have a lot in common. The main goal of a writer, like a musician, is to establish emotional contact with his audience. Writers do this with motivation, imagery, and strong phrases. Musicians – in the same way, but also with the help of music.

Always work towards the development of your abilities If our main goal is to establish an emotional connection with listeners, then we must constantly improve our existing abilities and acquire new ones. The more instruments-abilities we have, the more diversified and wider our possibilities in music become. It is important not only to have many opportunities and be able to use them, but also to constantly experiment.

Do not limit your creative thinking, using only the “correct and tried” methods of composing music. The effectiveness of the emotional impact of any – even the most ingenious musical technique sooner or later dulls. Listeners are constantly in need of new experiences, so non-standard, unpredictable musical and poetic decisions produce a more intense emotional effect.

Here is the list of the top 10 Richest songwriters all over the world.
