The song industry includes singer-songwriters, and it also includes specialist singers and specialist songwriters. A healthy industry will support people who create music but who do not necessarily perform it in public performances.

That's your opinion, and you're certainly entitled to it, but it doesn't make it true. While I don't want to discourage anyone composing/songwriting, keep in mind that separate singers and songwriters are what gave us Britney Spears, and the sheet music guild is at least as bad as RIAA (charging non-profit performing charities per performance for sheet music they've already paid for).
