Songwriter
From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min
A songwriter, in popular music, is a person who composes both the words and music for a song. Someone who writes only the words (lyrics) is known as a lyricist, while the composer of the music or melody is known as a melodist.
Performers who write their own songs are known as singer-songwriters.
