Its hard to say but i gues that over the last 20 years i come up to a total of 500 compositions. I started of as a singer songwriter but the last few years the compositions turned more into instrumentals.

No idea.

Of course the vast majority of what I've done over the more recent years wouldn't get categorized as "songs" though.

Over 750 in maybe a 14 year period (not continuous of course, there have been breaks...) written on various instruments, some for different artists but still maintaining the DreZone brand.

I've been writing for the last 12.5 years (since I was 11), and have written well over 1000 songs.

However at least 85% of these are absolute garbage, and I only still listen to them or remember them when I'm taking bits for new songs. I never throw anythig away, so I still have loads of immature love songs and attempts and being clever!

The opening song on my latest album is actually 8 years old, and somehow I missed it on various trawls of my back catalogue!

I have also written with other people when in bands etc, around 100 or so songs.

Everyone works at their own paces. Not everyone has the time or resources to make a living off of writing 100's of tracks and if you do well good for you.

I also belief in self contentment. If you're like me and you're happy with creating as a means of expression then fair enough, U just happen to end up with loads of stuff.

Then there are the people who spend forever working on one or two tracks, but their self-contentment will far outweigh the person who created the 100;s and STILL ain't happy because they are compromising to gain 'the numbers'.

Just write YOUR number 1.

Very true. Good point. I guess most of the stuff I've done is quality, to me anyway, I'm satisfied so it's all good.

I would say about a dozen or so, but they sounded to outside influenced. So I am starting fresh...so zero at the moment.
