After writing songs for over 26 years, I have learned how to help music lovers and beginning songwriters (just like you) achieve joy and confidence, not only in songwriting, but in their life as a whole. If you’re ready to kickoff your songwriting journey with confidence and clarity, I’d love to chat with you!

I remember the time I almost cried in front of my college songwriting class. We had some “acclaimed Nashville songwriting guru” there that day to critique our songs. I went up and played my song for the “guru” and all of my classmates.

He fucking ripped my song apart! He said things like, “can anyone actually tell me what that song is about?” “it’s just not relatable” and “I don’t know about that chord progression”. I was devastated! I thought it was a pretty good song. I held back tears as I placed my guitar back in it’s case and took my seat amongst my peers who I thought must be silently laughing at me. 

I was pretty damn down. I went home and laid in bed, then drowned my sorrows in a bottle of cheap bourbon that night. BUT. . . I wasn’t gonna let that guy and his words stop me from continuing to write songs. I just had to get better. So, that’s what I was gonna do. 

I started analyzing songs that I loved. Studied the lyrics. I pondered things like, “what makes that line make me wanna cry?” and “Oh wow! Why does that melody fit so nicely over those chords?”. Over years of doing this, I was able to improve my songwriting skills and gain the confidence I needed to share my songs with people again. Now the feedback I hear from people is:

“Thank you for this song! I cry when I hear it!”

“Wow! That hits hard!”

“Man, that’s some stellar writing there. Imagery is amazingly detailed. . .”

This is what led me to creating the Confident Songwriter Program. People need to hear your songs and I want to help you find the confidence to get them out into the world.

I help music lovers and beginning songwriters discover confidence and joy by showing them how to write songs and find inspiration in their life.

  5. Finding Inspiration in the In-Between

    • Someone once told me that life happens in the “in-between”. Those mundane everyday moments that happen in between the big events that we often look forward to and remember. There’s plenty of inspiration to be found in your everyday life and I’m going to help you find it so that you can wake up everyday feeling inspired and full of joy!
