We'll help you write like a pro, do business like a pro & connect to the pros.
Any of these sound like you?
- UNCONNECTED to anyone in the music business?
- FRUSTRATED that nobody seems to be listening?
- STUCK outside a major music city like Nashville, NY, LA or London?
-
LACKING a team of co-writers?
-
WONDERING if your songs are even any good?
-
FEELING ALONE in your songwriting journey?
-
WANTING a chance to prove yourself?
The Music Business is Tough Business.
Trying to make it on your own can just lead to mountains of frustration, wasted money and wasted decades. (Yes, I said decades.) Your best songs get outdated while they just sit on your computer or in your notebook. If you don’t build relationships with other songwriters and with pros in the business, you’ll probably never get your shot to make it. You’ll never know if you were really good enough or not. And all those people who thought you were crazy for having a big dream? They’ll continue to think they’re right. And you’ll stay in that day job.
Even if you do get lucky and get a song recorded, do you even know how to turn a cut into a business? Or will you look foolish to the pros because you obviously don’t know how the business works? Will you let someone take advantage of you? Every year, songwriters lose out on tons of money and time because they simply don’t know how the music business actually works. That could be you if you don’t get educated.
Songwriting Pro is Here to Help.
I can relate to your frustration. I used to be just an unknown lyricist living in Arkansas. I didn’t know anyone in the music business. I’d read some books, but I didn’t know how the music business really worked. It took years, a ton of hard work and a lot of bumps and bruises along to way… but I’ve been able to sign publishing deals and get songs recorded, earning multiple #1 radio hits along the way.
I want you to learn faster and better than I did. I want you to avoid my mistakes. And that’s why I’ve created Songwriting Pro.

This Is An Amazing Deal.
How much does it cost to travel to a major music city, Uber around and knock on doors trying to meet a hit songwriter or publisher?
How much does it cost to attend a songwriting conference? Travel, hotels, meals... all in the hopes of making a connection.
Even if you live in a major music city, how much does it cost to get downtown, park, eat dinner and maybe get some drinks at an open mic night or workshop where you MIGHT meet a publisher or hit songwriter?
You can easily spend thousands of dollars each year just to get a little face-time with music industry insiders.
Now get this: a subscription to Songwriting Pro is only a $20 monthly investment (and only $12 per month if you get the annual subscription).
How much does it cost to get a good recording of a song? $400? $800? And what happens next? Spending hundreds of dollars on a song doesn't mean much if you can't get it heard.
