What Tom Wants
He has 433 songs, 34 albums, a business plan, and 29 years of output. Here is exactly what he's looking for. Read it. If you're the one — respond.
The Straight Version
I've been writing songs for 29 years. 433 of them. 34 albums. I can't sing and I don't play instruments. I write the words. The music has always been a collaboration.
I have a business plan for a live collaborative songwriting venue — the audience participates, contributors get credited, royalties get shared. ChatGPT called it tight. I agree. What I need now is someone with the right space, the right connections, or the right resources to make it real.
I'm not looking for charity. I'm looking for a partner who sees what this catalog is and wants to build something with it.

Here Is What Tom Is Looking For
These are not negotiating positions. They are honest statements of what would make this work.
A Venue
A physical space for the live collaborative songwriting show. The concept: audience watches in real time as songs get written, voted on, composed, and performed. Contributors from the audience get credited and receive royalty shares. The venue provides the room. Tom provides the catalog, the model, and the presence.
Required for the live show to happenA Partner with Rizz
Tom writes. He needs a front-facing partner who can work a room, pitch the idea, build relationships with musicians and industry contacts, and bring the social energy that a live music enterprise requires. Not a salesperson. Someone who genuinely believes in the catalog and knows how to move in rooms where this kind of deal gets made.
Preferred — accelerates everythingHealthcare
Tom is 47. He needs health insurance. This is not a soft request — it's a baseline condition for a sustainable arrangement. Any legitimate partnership deal includes healthcare coverage. This is non-negotiable because it's basic.
Required for any employment or partnership arrangementA Salary
Tom has been doing this for free for 29 years. That chapter is over. A legitimate venture pays its principal. The salary doesn't have to be large to start — it has to be real. Negotiate it. Put it in writing. Pay it.
Required for a sustainable partnershipA Sign-On Bonus
Tom is bringing a 29-year catalog, a tested collaboration model, 433 ready-to-record songs, a built website, a documented business plan, and 120+ recorded tracks as proof of concept. That's worth something at the door. A sign-on bonus recognizes the value of what he's bringing into the deal.
Preferred — signals the partnership is realWhat Tom Is Not Asking For
Not Asking For These Things
- Free exposure or unpaid visibility arrangements
- A record deal that owns the catalog — the catalog stays with Tom
- A partnership that requires Tom to perform or play instruments
- Equity for introductions that don't convert to real resources
- A business model that doesn't compensate collaborators
- Anything that requires removing the catalog from public access
Is Asking For These Things
- A partner or organization that has done something real in the music or entertainment space
- A conversation that moves to a concrete proposal within 30 days
- Someone who has read the catalog — at least 10 songs — before the first call
- A deal structure that allows Tom to keep writing and keep building
- Credit and revenue share for all musicians who record from the catalog
- Mutual respect for what 29 years of uncompensated output actually represents
Why This Works
The Collaborhythm model is not speculative. It has already been tested. 120+ songs were recorded by collaborators across multiple countries from this same catalog. The system of lyricist + collaborator + credit + revenue share is proven to attract musicians, produce work, and generate output that neither party could have made alone.
The live show model extends this. An audience that participates in the creation of a song has a direct stake in its existence. They become part of the artist roster. The viral potential of that is obvious — and the royalty mechanism that makes it fair is already designed.
The catalog is the asset. 433 songs spanning every human theme, rated G through X, available in every genre register. No label owns it. No publisher controls it. Tom owns it and he's ready to partner with someone who recognizes what it's worth.
