Israel says, “I put together this guide on how to properly use AI tools to create excellent lyrics for any genre of music. Whether you are getting this to deepen your knowledge, or just to get started writing, this book is for you!” As a renowned lyric and music writing coach and with my experience as a producer and music executive, I have seen first-hand how even great artists struggle with the process of writing lyrics. Thankfully, there are some new tools that we can use to make this process easier. This trend is fresh and recent, but I am 100% convinced that it will change the way we create lyrics for the better. I am, of course, talking about AI. Artificial intelligence. These are software tools so deep and complex that the programs can now understand and replicate the way humans talk, write and interact with language. My objective with this book is to show that this inevitable transition towards songwriting with AI is not something that we should be scared about. In fact, I wrote this to show songwriters, producers, and any other interested party, how this technology is only here to empower our creativity, and help us achieve better results.” To purchase the book visit: https://lorenisrael.gumroad.com/l/AI-Songwriting |

| About Loren Israel: Bands like Jimmy Eat World, Plain White T’s, Neon Trees and The Unlikely Candidates began their careers under the development of Loren Israel. In fact, his ear for talent has helped secure record deals for nearly two dozen bands. Loren started playing music at an early age. An LA native, Loren was in bands from the age of 15 through his mid 20’s. Loren wrote songs, played guitar and had the privilege to open for acts like Bad Religion and Soul Asylum. Having lived the musician’s life for a decade here in LA, he eventually made the difficult decision to step away from music and go to college. But Loren couldn’t stay away from music for long. While in college, Loren began organizing shows and producing records for other artists. He also became a mentor to many artists and bands who wanted to achieve the success that his band had achieved. Eventually, this led to a gig with Capitol Records, but Loren continued to produce records and develop artists on his own outside the label. Loren’s knack for spotting and developing talent led to a full-time position as an A&R Executive with Capitol Records. Throughout his years at Capitol, he honed his skills in finding talent and developing the unique voices in bands. He was instrumental in securing talented bands like Less Than Jake and Jimmy Eat World to the label. But he soon decided that life as a music executive was too passive. He wanted to actively develop bands and produce records independently. So in 2001, he started his own company which develops independent artists at the grassroots level. Since 2001, Loren’s artists such as Plain White T’s, Neon Trees and The Unlikely Candidates have achieved Billboard #1 hit songs. Overall, Loren’s nearly 200 clients have grossed over $60 million through record deals, touring and promotional materials. In addition to developing bands to Platinum status, Loren has also been credited with helping discover and mentor former musicians-turned-producers like Tim Pagnotta, Ian Kirkpatrick and Ariel Rechtshaid. Producers who have gone on to work with many of today’s most successful artists. Loren’s penchant for discovering talent is not his greatest asset. Rather, it’s his approach to writing music. He believes that the skill of songwriting can be taught to anyone. More than that, he believes the skill in writing a hit song can be taught to anyone. He teaches his artists that writing hit songs is really a series of choices that rely on certain principles. Once they understand the foundation, he works with them to make the necessary choices that lead to better songs, and eventually to hit songs. Loren also produces, mixes and markets songs. The current digital landscape is a great boon for all artists. The right marketing plan simply requires a level-headed approach, willingness to take chances and a realistic evaluation of expectations. Loren’s latest success comes from the Unlikely Candidates, who in February 2020 achieved an Alternative Billboard # 1 hit song – “Novacaine.” Prior to “Novacaine,” The Unlikely Candidates achieved a Top 40 spot on the Billboard Charts with their song, “Your Love Could Start A War,” the only band to have accomplished that without a record contract. Loren resides in West Hollywood with his wife, Chelsea, and son, Quinton |
