I think Bob Dylan's a good songwriter. I think he's the best songwriter in the world probably.
Chrissie Hynde
Image
I mean, I am a little different from the band in that I, I'm pretty much an isolated writer. I don't associate myself with a lot of other writers, unless like, I'll write someone like a fan letter, and we start talking from then on, or like a songwriter that I like, you know.
Michael Angelakos
Image
I see myself continuing to be a songwriter and a motivator and someone that has grown in her faith.
Ashthon Jones
Image
I consider myself a songwriter before anything else. The fact that I have been able to write both of my records and establishing myself as a songwriter is super-important to me. Some people have that gift, where they can take on anything and make people believe it. I like to do a song from personal experience.

I always knew Gordon Lightfoot was a really great songwriter, but his stuff even sounds better and better all the time. It's just so really good to me. It's just like that's what should be in a dictionary, you know, next to a really good contempory folk song, is a Gordon Lightfoot song.
John Prine

In order to make a normal-sized record, a singer songwriter should have a couple dozen finished songs. Once they go through the process of production, the ones that scream out at you that they're finished are the ones that make the record.
M. Ward

Yeah, I always listen to both classic and newer folk-influenced music. Singer-songwriter, alternative music. I also listen to more experimental dance music.
Brad Delson
Image
I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.
John Legend
Image
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
John Frusciante
Image
I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special.
George Strait
Image
Some things lend themselves well to songs, some things don't, and I'm learning that a lot at the moment. It's still a relatively new way of writing. It's only really the last five to 10 years that I've taken my writing seriously in this way, as something I can keep working toward. I think I feel myself much more before as simply a songwriter.
PJ Harvey
Image
It was the vehicle that propelled me to international stardom. (Harder They Come) I was known as a singer/songwriter before that, but people did not know me as an actor. It showed the world where the music I contributed to create was coming from. It opened the gates for Jamaican music, internationally.
Jimmy Cliff
Image
I love music, so if I wasn't singing, I would probably still be working in the music industry. I love songwriting, so I'd probably be a songwriter.
Trey Songz
Image
As a songwriter, if you can touch people and make them feel a little less alone in the world, then you've done your job.
Tom Cochrane

When I was 6 I thought that I wanted to be a musician - like a singer-songwriter. That's what I romantically envisioned for myself. But in reality the experience of getting into music was just the opposite. My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.
Andrew Garfield

It is setting goals and trying to be a business person, but at the same time not losing sight of who you are writing songs for and what your goals are as a songwriter. So believe me, if you think I've got it down I don't it is a constant struggle.
Christine Lavin

I love the traditional music of all our islands - Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales , but I suppose I'm viewed pretty much as an English songwriter and I'm going to try and do an English album, and I wouldn't be ashamed or embarrassed to do Scarborough Fair and Spencer the Rover and stuff like that.
Ralph McTell
Image
The songwriter mustn't fall in love with his own song. If it doesn't belong, he can't push it into a show. Let him save it maybe it'll fit in another show.
Dorothy Fields
Image
You know you don't really need the band or the singer/songwriter in the same way, so you look at everything as part of your palette.
DJ Spooky

Jamie Cullum
Image
The worst thing for a singer/songwriter is to run out of songs.
Michael Kiwanuka
Image
I'm a guitar player. Actually, I think of myself as a songwriter/rhythm-guitar player.
Rick Nielsen
Image
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
Ben Harper

Any pianist and singer/songwriter would say Carnegie Hall. It's such a legendary place. I'd love to play at Carnegie Hall. That's definitely dream of mine.
