Our brilliant friends from the Make Music Alliance in the US are again coordinating My Song Is Your Song, the great global song swap.
Learn a song by another artist and hear yours covered in return. Songwriters, composers and bands of all styles and walks of life are invited to participate!
Partners will be introduced by May 20th, to give you all plenty of time to communicate and get to know each other’s work while recording your version of their song.You’ll make their song your own, share a video of it on Instagram or YouTube on June 21st, and use #MySongIsYourSong to join in the celebration!
We are very excited to announce special prizes for this year’s song swap! One pair of songwriters will be selected at random to receive these prize bundles: #MySongIsYourSong participants: a ukulele from Flight, a Scarlett 2i2 (4th gen) audio interface from Focusrite, and a Novation Launchkey 37.
Last year’s winners included an Australian artist, Damian Morris, swapping a song with Ryan Oyer.
To enter to win, just:
- Register using this form: Form closes Monday May 6th
- Receive your pairing with another songwriter by Monday May 20th
- Record your cover of their song
- On Make Music Day, Friday June 21st, post your recording of your partner’s song on Instagram or Youtube, and
- Send the link to catherine@makemusicday.org by midnight (New York time) on Friday June 21, 2024.
