They were starting a publishing company. The publisher put my demo on and asked if I'd written the songs. So, literally, the very first door, the very first call, I got signed, and through them, I began cultivating different relationships around town. Becker says Nashville is a great place for fledgling songwriters. You realize it can be done.
People do it all the time.
During that first year at Sparrow's publishing company, Becker spent a great deal of time co-writing. Among her frequent collaborators where Steven Curtis Chapman, Michelle Wagner, Michael Hodge, and Tommy Greer. He's really exceptional. Becker says she misses some of the people she wrote with early in her career. It's sad really because some of my best writing was done withe the people I mentioned.
