Songwriting stories, lessons & awkward truths from the rooms where hits get written

Everything I learnt – and all the dirty laundry – from working as an A&R with genre-defining and Grammy-winning songwriters:

songwriting advice that'll make some uncomfortable and the right people obsessed
insights into what successful songwriters actually care about
mindsets, tips, methods and lessons that break you out of the soul-crushing start-stop-abandon song cycle

Look, I’m not some songwriting Guru...

Sure… some of my songs have hit the Billboard charts.

But the bigger reason why you want to listen to what I have to say is…

As an A&R manager, I’ve worked alongside a long list of songwriters whose work has shaped entire genres.

I’ve sat in the rooms with them and watched them work.

…produced their demos.

…given feedback on their songs.

…picked their brains.

…studied their process.

I know what moved a song forward, what killed it and why.

I’ve seen what it took to write songs that made it all the way to the Grammys.

And I've distilled all of it into frameworks, methods, lessons and insights that help you write your best work on purpose.

If you wake up each day with songwriting on your mind…
