RECONNECT WITH YOUR CREATIVE VOICE...
THE SONGWRITERS FORUM, WHERE NEW AND SEASONED SONGWRITERS LEARN, COLLABORATE, AND CREATE.
Hit Songwriter Drew Lawrence (Co-writer of worldwide hit, “Jar of Hearts” - Christina Perri) created this community to help break through creative blocks, help songwriters find their voice, and navigate the intricacies of the music business.
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

- You have ideas and stories, but need guidance turning them into complete songs.
- You want to learn from seasoned professionals who’ve actually done this before.
- You want to write music that means something—and lasts beyond the moment.
- You feel curious and excited about songwriting, but overwhelmed by the process.
- You miss having feedback, support, or a creative community around you.
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who this community was built for.

An amazing day yesterday with Drew Lawrence. We finally finished all the songs for my kids' album. Who would have thought that this project would ever have come about. What initially started as a poem for a kids' assembly to distribute dictionaries with Rotary has become a full-blown album of 12 songs for kids to learn from. The next part of the project is getting them live online so that people can hear them and kids can learn. Super energized by this!

We're touring with Slash in South America as his opening band. It all started with Drew. (We performed in front of ) Eight. Thousand. People!Â

Working with Drew has changed my life. He provides an especially safe, supportive, happy and fun work atmosphere that allows for the best ideas to come through. I started out feeling insecure and unworthy and have evolved session by session into someone who's confident in their ability to craft a song and tell stories through music.Â

JEFF'S STORY: DISCOVERING CREATIVITY THROUGH MUSIC
Really excellent. I am not a musician at all, but wanted to tap into a bit more of my creative side and learn a bit more about music. Drew’s interactive style is great. Truly I enjoyed every class. I learned sooo much, especially in terms of chords and progressions. I also really enjoyed breaking down some popular songs we all know. I feel enriched.
There is no pressure to perform, but it is available to you should you want to. He did take us through some voice drills for example. He encouraged us all to write and perform a song of our creation. Although I did not seem to have time for that part, I am interested in doing that in the future. If you have any interest in this, what a great way to start.

Join NowNick's Story: Turning Life into a Musical Legacy
Nick came to me at 39, fresh out of a difficult divorce and at a turning point in his life. He had a dream of becoming a country artist—but had never written a song and had very little singing experience.
In our first session, we wrote his first song. Over the next four years, Nick committed himself to the craft—writing nearly 50 songs, developing his voice, and turning his life experiences into music, including deeply personal songs for family and friends.
Today, Nick has released an album on Spotify, tours across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and even built his own music venue where he performs alongside national acts. Most importantly, he found purpose, joy, and a renewed sense of identity through songwriting.
This same spirit of guidance, feedback, and legacy-building is exactly why the Songwriters Forum Community exists. To support—even if you’re not working one-on-one.
Nice to Meet You!
I’m Drew Lawrence. I’m a songwriter, artist, and producer, and over the years I’ve been fortunate to work with artists like Christina Perri, Julia Michaels, Madison Beer, and The Backstreet Boys. But what’s always mattered most to me is helping people find their voice.
I’ve spent a big part of my career working with writers at every level—many who never thought of themselves as songwriters—and watching their life stories turn into real songs. I believe music is one of the most powerful ways to capture who we are and what we’ve lived. Songs become a kind of legacy—something we leave behind for our families, our communities, and ourselves.
I created the Songwriters Forum Community to give people a supportive place to do that work together. I’m really glad you’re here. Let’s make some music that lasts.
