âś“Â how to get started
âś“Â how to find inspiration
âś“Â identifying hooks and workable riffs
âś“Â lyric and melody construction, themes, arrangement, and style
Plus tips and tricks for turning all of that into completed works that you, or anyone else, can perform and/or record.

✓ basics of pro recording and how to get great sounding results, no matter what space you’re recording in
âś“ basic production, choosing instruments, drums, layering, effects, basic mixing

And if you’ve already got the basics down, I can help you take your work to the next level!
I’ll be there to walk you through it, and by the end, you’ll have not only a song that YOU recorded, produced and mixed - but the skills to do it again and again, anytime you like!

Your Songwriting and Music Production Coach
As a professional songwriter for more than 20 years, I’ve written, co-written, and produced hundreds of songs. I’ve recorded everywhere, from noisy apartments to world-class studios, including Prince’s Paisley Park in Minneapolis and Ocean Way in Los Angeles. Since 2014, I’ve been signed to a songwriting and co-publishing deal with Concord Music, home to Pink Floyd, Daft Punk, Phil Collins, Imagine Dragons, The 1975, Mark Ronson, Billie Holiday, and many others. I’ve had record deals with Razor & Tie (Universal) and Metro Records (Warner Music) and been sponsored by Gibson Guitars. My music is administered by Concord and Universal Music Group. It has been featured in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and on the homepages of Apple Music, Amazon, and Guitar World among others.
Working alongside Grammy-winning songwriters and producers, I've not only honed my craft but charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and licensed dozens of songs to commercials, TV shows, and films. I firmly believe that a great song speaks for itself, no matter the style or genre of music. I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned so you can skip years of trial and error and create your best music yet!
