Songwriting is my passion and joy. For me, there is nothing else like it creatively. To hear songs come alive on record is pure bliss. But there are a lot of unfinished songs in the world, that artists don't quite know what to do with. Often it's because they haven't figured out what they really need to say, and sometimes it's because they are afraid that to say it simply implies a lack of depth or skill. I've found the opposite to be true. In fact, the most experienced and artful musicians I've worked with play less, not more, but what they offer is exactly what's needed and beneficial to the whole. Can we, as songwriters, say something profound, but in a simple way - a way that others will understand and relate to, at least emotionally? This is where the magic is, and where the gift of songwriting is well-served by honing our writing skills.
It's heartbreaking to see an artist spend thousands of dollars recording songs that don't connect with anyone else. It can lead to deep discouragement - even quitting altogether. If that's you, I truly believe that I can help. I love to see an artist figure out their creative paths. Let's chat...
