Live from the Living Room EP48: A deep dive into my songwriting

Some make you cry. Some make you dance. Some make you think. Songs are the currency of musicians but few people know what goes into creating them. So, how the hell do you write a song?

In this edition of Live from the Living Room I lift the hood on my creative process and give a top-to-bottom walkthrough of how and why I do it. Spoiler: it’s actually really simple and I think a lot of people could do it! Learn where I get my ideas from, how I create melodies and why I’ve found a method I can fit into my day to day life.

If you’ve followed my music closely for a while you can get to know me even more in this deep dive songwriting Q&A.
