SOUL SONG
how to write a song that comes from your soul.
You have songs inside you. They've been there for years.
I know the feeling - a melody surfaces while you're driving, a line appears in the shower, and for a moment it's right there.
Then doubt creeps in. Is it good enough? Does it sound like me? Do I even know what "me" sounds like?
And the song goes back into hiding.
If you've been stuck in that loop — trying, stopping, comparing yourself to everyone else, starting over — you don't have a talent problem. You have a voice problem. Not your singing voice. Your soul voice.
A constant, low hum of anxiety in the backdrop of your days — will I die with these songs and stories still within me?
Soul Song is a raw, no-frills video workshop designed to help you find it.
“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”
this is about writing honest songs
I moved to Nashville in 2016 and co-wrote a song in 15 minutes. It was polished, radio-ready, professionally produced.
I felt no connection to the song.
I handed my voice over the moment I walked in the door. I didn't know what I wanted to say, so someone else said it for me.
That song is called Burn It Away. You can listen to it below.
Then listen to Rosemary — recorded on my iPhone, rough edges and all. I wrote it from scratch, alone, using everything I'll teach you in this workshop.
One of these songs sounds like a song. The other one sounds like me.
That's the difference I want for you.
The sound of a soul song
Burn It Away
a song I feel no connection to
(not a soul song)
Rosemary
a song that gives me chills and butterflies (a true soul song)
What you’ll walk away with
What you'll walk away with:
A clear sense of your artistic identity — what you value, what you want to say, what makes your songs yours
Somatic writing techniques that pull songs from your body, not just your brain (this alone changes everything)
Tools to dismantle the comparison trap and the "not good enough" loop for good
Song structure — and when to break it
Confidence accompanying yourself, even if you're not a "real" guitarist
Prompts, assignments, and meditations to keep you writing long after the workshop ends
