About the SongTuner
Sandy Ramos, like so many other songwriters, moved to Nashville during the fall of 1984. At the time, there was no Skype/Zoom, no Facebook, ReverbNation or SoundCloud, etc. So, if you wanted to make it as an artist or as a songwriter, you simply had to be there!
After three years of knocking on countless publishers’ doors, going to weekly workshops and performing at various writers’ nights in town, Sandy landed a Staff Writing deal at Wrensong Publishing. The next year, she found her first major success as a songwriter with a Top 5 record, “Don’t Waste It on the Blues” by country artist Gene Watson. She remained an exclusive staff songwriter at Wrensong for the next ten years and landed five major label cuts, with artists including Lee Greenwood (“We’ve Got It Made”, Billboard Top 10 Single), Rhett Akins (“I Brake for Brunettes”, No. 1 Dance Club Hit, #15 Billboard Country Charts), Faith Hill, Neal McCoy, Kenny Rogers, Anne Murray, Wild Rose, The Whites, as well as her biggest album cut to date, “Let ‘Er Rip” by the Dixie Chicks (now known as The Chicks), which has sold over 19 million copies!
In 2014, Sandy founded a new company, The SongTuner, where she initially offered song evaluations and mentoring services for songwriters. Seeing a growing need for talented local and out-of-town aspiring songwriters to get their songs heard by Music Industry Professionals in Nashville, she established the Pitch to Pro Pipeline, a service that enables songwriters as well as up and coming artists to submit their songs for various ongoing pitch opportunities here in town and receive direct feedback from Industry Pros! Additionally, Sandy hosts multiple special “Pitch Promos” throughout the year, bringing in both new and veteran Songpluggers, Publishers and Producers in Nashville to listen to “outside” songwriters’ songs!
