Consult a successful Grammy-nominated commercial
songwriter LIVE from his Los Angeles studio!
"My name is Michael Caruso....
I am a successful commercial songwriter and songwriting
consultant in Los Angeles. I help promising songwriters and
singer/songwriters like you become hit songwriters, by helping
you polish your material.
Having spent 25 years in the music business
as a professional, award-winning songwriter, I have inside
knowledge of the music and music-publishing business of as well
as every aspect of its creative side.
I have worked with many famous rock and R &
B artists, musicians and producers. People like Joan
Jett, Billy Idol and Bill Champlin. I
even co-wrote songs with the late great songwriting legend
Sammy Cahn.
I work by phone and e-mail with talented
songwriters who, I feel, have the talent to make it all the way to
the Top 40, but just haven't gotten there yet. Many artists have
awesome musicians and stage presence, but don't quite have the
material yet, which is usually why they don't have deals. By
sharing your material with me, I can give you my unique insight
to help you change all that. I have made deals with music
publishers and record labels. Who knows? Maybe I can help you
be the next Grammy winner!
I myself had a Grammy nomination for
"Best R & B Vocal" in 1996 for the Vanessa
Williams song "Love Is" which appeared on the
original soundtrack of BEVERLY HILLS 90210. As well as JOAN JETT'S
cover of LONG LIVE THE NIGHT which appears on the original motion
picture soundtrack DAYS OF THUNDER...starring TOM CRUISE.
I got my first record deal as a recording artist
with R.C.A. 25 years ago with my band "Hyde Your
Daughters". After a year with Homegrown Music I worked
in-house at Geffen Records. I went on from there to spend
4 years with Sony Music, followed by 4 years with
Chrysalis Music Publishing.
I am currently under contact to RuffNation
Records, a cutting-edge label that represents contemporary
talents like Lauren Hill, the Fugees, Cypress Hill and
Outkast.
My rate for phone Consultations is a very
reasonable $1.99/min when you consider that my standard
consulting fee is $400 per hour. By offering this service I hope
to be able to make my services available to talented people who do
not have the resources to fly to Los Angeles and consult with me in
person. Therefore I am making myself available to those who
might otherwise never have had the opportunity to seek my
advice. I was once a struggling unknown artist and I would like to
think that I have never forgotten where I came from.
I look forward to hearing your work and
talking with you soon"
