Inspire the Song · Newsletter
Your songwriting revolution will not be televised. It'll come via email.
Hit writer insights. No Songwriting 101. No guru vibes.
THIS LIST IS FOR YOU IF...
You're tired of looking at your songs… then at a hit song… then back at yours… and you just can't figure out how to close the gap.
You've matured beyond songwriting 101 clichés like "What is a chorus?"
You're done letting "it's just instinct" be the reason hit writers have something you don't.
Don't just see inside the writing rooms where hit songs are made...
Understand the why behind every decision made inside them.
I spent years as an A&R working alongside some of the world's most influential writers. This is what they taught me — and what I'm sharing here.
You're in.
Check your email for your baptism of fire.
I am not your songwriting guru...
Sure… I've been a Billboard charting music producer and songwriter, toured the world as a session guitarist and I've run an Indie Label in Sydney, Australia…
But the real reason why you want to listen to what I have to say is…
As an A&R manager, I've worked with some of the most influential — some genre defining — writers of our time. From Sony, Universal, Capital CMG, Hillsong Music and more.
I've sat in the rooms with them and watched them work.
... produced their demos
... gave feedback on their songs
... picked their brains
... studied their process
I've seen first hand what it took to write songs that became radio and streaming #1s and Dove Award winners — even a few Grammys.
Here's me with Ben Whincop — mix engineer for the Grammy award winning song What A Beautiful Name.
Here I am (second from left) after a writing session with Vera Blue — before the world knew her name.
But let's get something straight...
These emails are not about name dropping. I’m not here to talk up who I know. I’m here to share what they taught me.
And the only cost is your name and email address.
Plus, every email comes with a personal guarantee — if you don’t like what you read, hit that unsubscribe button and I’ll refund your name and email address.
