What the deal with music artists performing song which they have neither written nor produced?
| I though especially in the western world, young artist talent is very hard to be recognised without connections. Being self produced and make a very good song to be discovered by record label is the only way to go?
e.g. Ashnikko, Doja cat, Grimes
So assuming this is what happened for most artists, did they gradually transition from self produced to relying on external producers/writers?
| When it comes to corporate, pop and stuff like that, is common practice to do this as it's easier to produce quantity over quality. Given, sometimes there are fucking bops out there, but that's also because these producers are absolute beasts in what they do
| there are tons of reasons why. not everyone can sing and not everyone can sing well. sometimes people make/write songs and find that they need someone else to sing it to bring out it's full potential. or maybe an artist hears a demo and decides they want to be the one to sing it because they like it and/or they want variety on their album.

| I noticed this first in kpop, which now that I think about, is very corporate.
However, this is also true for popular artist in general. In their youtube description of their song you can see the accredited producer and song writers. Is the music artist just the performer?
e.g. justinbieber, Britney spears
Why is this such a common practice? I acknowledge most popular music artist already have good vocal capabilities as a baseline. And there are exceptions, being self produced
