100. 18 Months to Write a Song?!

Podcast Show Notes:

Dear songwriter,

Do you ever feel like your songwriting process seems to drag on forever? Today I'm opening the doors and revealing my own intense songwriting process - the grueling (and rewarding) 18 months I took to complete a deeply personal song. Spun from my struggles of fitting in due to race and upbringing, my journey was just as much about self-discovery as it was about crafting a song.

In this episode, we strip down the truth behind the art, diving deep into the stress, the critics, the unexpected revelations, and the inevitable tweaks that finally take the rough draft to a song ready for the world to hear. This is for every artist who's ever felt the weight of their story and the struggle of finalizing their work.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • The power of taking breaks and gaining perspective in the creative process.

  • The importance and art of seeking constructive feedback.

  • The impact of performing an unfinished piece to discover its potential.

  • The reflection of cultural identity, race, and upbringing in an artist's work.

Tune in to this episode and unearth the foundational elements that make the songwriting process a cathartic journey while finishing that new song!
