Hi Gang!
Many
of you that know me only by my Rock and Pop material on my album "You
Like It Clean" might be surprised to learn that I am also an avid
Country music songwriter. Back in March, it was announced that one of my self-penned Country songs, "102 (Songs About You)", was named a FINALIST song in the Country category of the International Songwriting Contest.
I'm thrilled the
song was singled out in such a prestigious contest, and
out of 15,500 total entries (wow!). Although, as indicated below,
there were 287 finalists across all music categories, my song was one
of only 14 Country songs selected for that category. This was the ISC announcement message I received of my finalist status:
"Dear Lynn Carey Saylor,
The International Songwriting Competition (ISC) has announced its
finalists today. Congratulations, the song "102 (Songs About You)" that
you entered in Country has been selected as a finalist.
Being selected an ISC finalist is an accomplishment that acknowledges
true songwriting talent. With only 287 finalists chosen out of over
15,500 entrants, this is an extraordinary achievement, and we are very
pleased to offer our congratulations."
"102 (Songs About You)" is an unreleased
song, was written entirely by me and tracked in Nashville
by some amazing musicians a few months ago. Special thanks to Steve
Mandile for producing the track based on my demo and Joanna Janet for
singing it.
Aside
from the industry picked finalists and winners, there was also a
separate "People's Choice" award given to the one finalist song across
all genres that received the most fan votes. I am pleased to report
that my song received the most votes of ANY finalist song in the
Country category and came in 13th overall out of the 287 finalist songs
for the People's Choice award. That, to me, is as significant as the
finalist nod, as it's an acknowledgment from the fans, without whom I
wouldn't have a music career, and so I thank you all very much who took
the time to vote for the song for doing so!
