Are all songwriters also performing musicians or instrumentalists?
Although a number of members are musicians or at least play an instrument or sing, this is certainly not a requirement. Many members enjoy writing lyrics, while others enjoy writing music and or lyrics. The ability to critique a set of lyrics is also a valued contribution to the group. While some members write and perform, others link up with other members to co-write or share the writing of the music and lyrics. There is no musicianship that needs to be demonstrated to become a valued member of KSA.
