‘Songland’ is not your typical music competition! This is not American Idol or The Voice. We’ve all heard the chart topping hits sung by amazing artists like Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Mariah Carey but how are these songs made?
Every artist is looking for one thing – their next great song. That’s where ‘Songland‘ comes in. Talented songwriters will take the stage as they pitch their songs to top artists and producers to create the next big hit!
Let’s dive in and see which songwriters we will be meeting in the season premiere of ‘Songland‘ tonight on NBC.

Each week one guest recording artist comes to “Songland” to hear unknown songwriters pitch their original material. Four songwriters will perform their original songs in front of the guest artist and three of the most successful music producers – Ryan Tedder (lead singer of OneRepublic), Ester Dean (Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer of Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj) and Shane McAnally (Grammy-winning songwriter and producer of Kacey Musgraves, Kelly Clarkson and Sam Hunt) will appear.
