The Great Thing About Songwriting by Seth Hilary Jackson @SongDude

The other day, I was going through the numbers for my recent song, "Gratitude and a Heartbeat". One of the charts showed a breakdown by country, and I was surprised and a bit pround to see that, of all the countries in the world, the one where the song was getting the most engagement was Ukraine.  After I thought about it a little, it made sense. Although the song has nothing to do with war or anything remotely similar, the overall message of the song is being thankful for what little we may have and just to be alive. I can see how that message might resonate with people in a war-torn country. It's safe to say that most songwriters hope their songs can affect someone in a positive way, and it feels good to think that perhaps mine has done that. Listen to the song on Spotify.or go to www.rowtown.net and hear it on your favorite streaming platform or my official website.       In my last message to you, I mentioned the line of merchandise I created around this song, but marketing whiz that I am, I didn't think to include pictures. So now, I'm including some. You can buy the items here.

Press Releases vs Blog Posts vs Articles - Which is Better? Well, First you need to know HOW?

A Press Release is a short, news story written by a News Publisher and sent to Affiliates of Major News and Radio Station Sites and other Members of News Media. The goal of a press release is to spark the interests of Journalists for them to republish or distribute on their websites and/or in their Newsletters. The Press Release should contain what is often called the 5W's (Who? What? Where? When? Wow? and Why?) for the Journalists to create the story. A Press Release has a different purpose than a media advisory. Whereas a media advisory offers basic information, a News Release creates an image and story that Journalists can use alone or use as background when writing a story.

A Blog is a short for Web Log or Weblog. A Blog is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries. Posts are usually displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page according to Wikipedia. 

An Article is for the purpose of propagating news, research results, academic analysis or debate. It can contain photographs, accounts, statistics, graphs, recollections, interviews, polls, debates on the topic and anything of that nature that is newsworthy. Headlines can be used to focus the reader’s attention on a particular part of the article. The Article Writer can give facts and detailed information following answers to questions like much like a Press Release that is based on the 5Ws plus the 1H (who, what, when, where, why and how). A News Article, on the other hand, can be about any topic that is newsworthy. News Articles generally do not talk about one single topic, but rather a group of subjects in detail.

Born in Brooklyn New York, he later relocated to California where he remained for 30 years. Recounting his experience in the song, “There is no California” the singer moved back East and now resides in New Jersey.  

His musical journey began at a young age. Captivated by various artists such as “The Doors, Cream, & Carole King”, it was one of the UK’s most famous bands “The Beatles” who inspired Seth to want to learn the guitar. With an elder brother who played piano & drums, he felt stimulated by his sibling’s musical knowledge.

During Seth’s last semester at the Wharton School of Business, his brother encouraged him to write his first song. His second one gained traction, receiving airplay on a Boston FM radio station and gained exposure in the magazine “The Beat”, which advised readers to "Be on the Seth Jackson alert."

Seth has been a professional songwriter for over 20 years and has written for an array of independent artists. His songs have been featured in film and TV as well as successfully making it into the European Country Music Association charts where his song, "Wait ‘till I Get My Hands on You”, hit the number 1 spot. Having been highlighted in American Songwriter magazine, he was also Los Angeles Regional Coordinator for the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI).

The singer’s exceptional gift for storytelling led him to receive a Presidential invitation to the White House for his song “Pfc Ross A. McGinnis”, a tribute to a war hero.

With his first album produced by Los Angeles-based Kevin Fisher, Seth went on to produce his own music which has yielded a rich collection of tracks. Not one to be placed in a box, the artist recently released his first cover song “The Other One” originally by favorite band “The Grateful Dead”.

Seth Hilary Jackson is committed to inspiring others through his music.
