I am considering building a website for songwriters. It needs to have a few general pages (accessible to the public), and then, behind the login area, a few different features. The main feature is a page for each songwriter, where they can upload their songs (mp3, lyric, lead sheet etc.). There would also perhaps be a general song area (searching, etc.), and maybe a phpBB3 forum.

I'd like to set permissions so that there are several different types of pages - an administrator who can view everything, groups who can view all songwriter's pages, indie groups who can view everything posted by a songwriter that hasn't been claimed in (say) 6 months, and songwriters who can view their own page and perhaps the pages of any songwriters they add as friends.

Can Drupal do most or all of this?

yes; drupal can... and you dont even need a phpBB3, and can use the drupal forum itself for better integrity.

You can certainly use Drupal. For forums you can use Drupal's advanced forum - http://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum
