Artist Development |Producer |Singer Songwriter
With a passion for artist development, I know firsthand the power of a great song. After co-writing Jar of Hearts and seeing how music can change lives, I’ve made it my mission to help others find their voice and turn their stories into songs. Through one on one work, the Songwriters Forum Community, and events, I’ve had the privilege of guiding songwriters at all levels—many of whom started with just an idea and ended up performing their own music with confidence. This event is all about giving you the tools, feedback, and inspiration to take your songwriting to the next level in a supportive, creative space.
