LYRICIST/ SONG WRITERS
A LYRICIST, ALSO CALLED LYRIC WRITER OR WORDSMITH, IS SOMEONE WHO WRITES THE WORDS TO AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF MUSIC OR ADDS WORDS TO ALREADY EXISTING MUSIC.. THE LYRICIST OFTEN COLLABORATES WITH SONGWRITERS, COMPOSERS, ARRANGERS AND MUSIC ARTISTS.A LYRICIST IS A PERSON WHO HAS A WAY WITH WORDS, SO TO SPEAK. HE IS ABLE TO COME UP WITH WORDS THAT EFFECTIVELY SUITS A PARTICULAR TYPE OF MUSIC KEEPING IN MIND THE GENRE, THEME, LENGTH AND RHYTHM OF THE MUSIC. A PERSON WHO SOLELY WRITES THE WORDS TO MUSIC IS CALLED A LYRICIST; ON THE OTHER HAND, A PERSON WHO WRITES BOTH THE MUSIC AND LYRICS IS CALLED A SONGWRITER.
