Shannon always had a knack for writing melodies - “hooks” were never a problem.

But not having a background in music theory, as well as not playing another instrument beyond using his own voice, kept him from finishing his songs.

He had a vision though, to write an album, and finally put together all of those melodic ideas into finished songs and finalized demos.

And that’s exactly what he did.

Eight songs later, and he’s already in the process of finding a producer to bring these tunes to life, and has mapped out the launch of his Artist brand, an introduction that will be something special, for him, and everyone else.

Chris, songwriter and producer, constantly found himself tweaking mixes and adding parts - he couldn’t finish his songs.

And in addition to writing songs and producing music, he was also the main point person for his band. It’s no wonder he felt the overwhelm from his sea of music.

But in just six weeks, he and his band released their debut single with a proper release plan. Now they’re taking that experience and applying it to their debut EP, set to be released in early 2022. Chris and his band now have a clear brand with a clear marketing strategy.

And to think, all this in just twelve weeks.

Carolyn had every excuse NOT to do this program, being a full-time student with two jobs.

She was also had issues w/ self-confidence when it came to songwriting, so she was definitely reluctant to join.

But she knew this was something that was important to her, and in just a couple of weeks, her confidence grew, and she started to churn out music.

She now has three solid songs in place with plans to go into the studio in 2022.

Dulce was told by her teachers that she "couldn't write songs" because she was "just a singer". ⁠ But there was a drive and curiosity in Dulce, that called her to songwriting. So despite what falsehoods were planted in her head via her educational upbringing, she felt compelled to take action, and go for it. ⁠Overcoming the doubts and limiting beliefs, as she expresses in this reflection, was the hardest part for Dulce, but after just a few weeks, she had written her first song. ⁠

And then another. ⁠

⁠And then another.⁠

⁠Now she has three finished demos of songs in both English and Spanish, and has found a producer to help her bring, what will be, her debut single to life. ⁠

Vincent struggled mightily with accountability, which brought him to sign up for my "Write Your First Album" mentorship.

He immediately started seeing results, and began to churn out song idea after song idea.

And in just twelve weeks, he left with six completed songs, placement with a producer, and new co-writing opportunities.

Kiet came to me with thoughtful plans for a concept album; a collection of songs to pay tribute to his parents, and his childhood home.

Only problem was that he couldn't finish writing it.

The weekly meetings and specific missions, as well as regular feedback that the program provides, allowed him to get focused, and suddenly the words and melodies started pouring out.

Twelve weeks later, he's finished writing the album, and has found a mix engineer to go into the next stage of production.

He encourages those to take the leap, because the program is yours, and you'll get out of it what you put in.

Simon never showed his music to anyone.

That fear of public perception kept him from writing and releasing his music.

Wanting to address the issue, he enrolled In my "Write Your First Album" mentorship, and since then, has recorded four song demos, found a producer, booked studio time, and even bought a new computer.

In this reflection, Simon talks about how the program helped him overcome these aforementioned struggles, and how coaching/mentoring has impacted all facets of his life!

Kay felt lost and directionless when it came to her music, which compelled her to sign up for my “Write Your First Album” mentorship.

In just twelve weeks, she wrote, produced, and recorded her first acoustic EP, and came up with a release plan for it.

She now has the confidence to navigate her musical journey on her own, while seeking advice from mentors, as she will be continuing forward into the next program to help her build her music brand.

Eileen was having trouble finding the structure and accountability for her music, due to her busy and demanding job, as well as whatever else life was throwing at her. By the end of the “Write Your First Album” mentorship, she completed four demos, and is now set to record those tunes with a producer in the coming weeks. Eileen credits the weekly meetings to monitor progress as a key factor in her ability to actually finish songs, to get her closer to the ultimate goal of releasing her first album.

Danso had never invested in himself, or his music before this program. In just twelve weeks he left with multiple singles released, as well as his debut EP, under his artist name, Dan Ceso.

Quetzaly went from not being able to write a song, to writing four complete songs, one of which was completely mixed and mastered, in just twelve weeks.

Zach came in with the goal of writing an album of eight songs. He did exactly that. Additionally, going through the program allowed him to systemize his songwriting and production process, which he’ll utilize for his next release.

After less than a year of learning guitar, Yanni enrolled in my “Write Your First Album” mentorship, and wrote her first two songs in a matter of weeks.

She felt many of the typical concerns and doubts prior to taking her first shot at writing original songs, but took the plunge, and the result was a song in English, and a song in Mandarin.

Melody left the program with two demos of her original songs.

She came into the program with some self-doubt and lack of clarity behind the process of writing and releasing music.

She’s now slated and prepared to take the next step to working with a producer on these new songs.
