Welcome to  SONGSTARTERS! - "a different kinda' music publisher."

We are a song publisher & music production house who provide songs to recording artists at all levels of their careers, and license our pre-recorded tracks for use in T.V., film and advertising.   We also offer "STARTERS!" (hence our name...), partially written songs for and by pro songwriters for recording artists and/or other pro songwriters looking to keep more of their income stream by owning part of the copyright of a finished song that they create from one of our "STARTER!s".  We outsource all of our marketing and public relations needs to industry partners and affiliates on a PER SONG basis, thereby giving each song it's own team to help create a successful copyright.  Care to join us?  If so, please call 610-948-6493 and let's discuss the possibilities! 

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!    WE DID IT!!!!    WE'RE #1 IN THE ENTIRE NATION!!!!!
