Great Places to Find Songwriters, Musicians, Producers and Audio Engineers for Your Project

If you are a musical artist and you would like to know where you can find a songwriter, beatmaker, audio engineers or producer for your project, here are some websites for you. They often list their price and you can message these creatives ahead of time if you have any specific instructions that you need them to know about your project. In most cases it is a work-for-hire because you are paying them upfront for a service. However, some may have the fee PLUS license terms. It's up to you to negotiate the terms of service you're most comfortable with. Beware of price gauging (exploitation) during negotiations. Understand the average range in price between entry level and professional for the kind of service you need. I have advertised my own gigs/services on Fiverr and I have also used Fiverr to find creative artists to help me with my projects. Finding creatives in a convenient way used to be really hard to do in the past but now it is so easy to find someone that can help you with your project. Make sure you vet them properly as there are many scams / bots out there online.
