Co-writing
Start with a seed: a riff, melody, lyric, story or rough demo.
MEMPHIS SONGWRITER · CO-WRITING & ARRANGEMENTS
Songwriting & co-writing.
Whether you have a rough voice memo or a nearly finished song, we can explore the groove, melody, arrangement and feeling that will bring it to life.
Discuss a project ↗SONGS BEFORE EVERYTHING
Writing original songs.
I approach songwriting as a conversation. Sometimes a rhythm or chord change opens the door. Sometimes we need to strip back a busy arrangement and let the lyric speak. The goal is never to force someone else's style onto your music.
I've co-written original music with Southern Avenue and contributed to songs on Family. Co-writing sessions can focus on harmony, groove, structure and musical ideas; we'll agree on credits and collaboration terms before work begins.
