Songwriting and composition both divine gift and learned skill – Luigi Maclean
Singer Luigi Maclean has said the ability to compose a beautiful song or write touching lyrics can either be a divine endowment or learned.
He spoke to Taller Dee on Journey to Heaven on No.1 FM, 105.3.
“First, it’s a gift. Not everyone can write a song. It’s not by force to write a song because someone else did. It’s a gift God gives,” the Gospel star said. “Beyond that, it’s something you can learn to do.”
Luigi said though he can write songs, he has had help with his moving melodies several times.
“In my personal experience, as I have walked with my boss Joe Mettle, every song I’ve written – it comes as an idea or a melody. When I get that, I take it to him,” he said, adding Joe Mettle guides him to shape and get a song properly done.
The Amazing God hitmaker said he does that with his Reverb Studios boss “because I know he has the experience”.
He advised musicians who have identified they have “the gift of writing” to “go to people you can trust who are experienced at this craft of writing and learn from them”.
Stressing on “people you can trust,” he gave the impression intellectual property must be guarded at all times.
To buttress his point there is no shame in asking for help to write a song nor performing a song entirely written by another musician altogether, Luigi Maclean noted he did not write his new hit Mile.
“Kofi Karkari did,” he said.
Luigi arranged Mi Le, however.
