IM BACK!! i’ve missed y’all & i’m so excited to get back into things!
i decided for my first video back that i would do a songwriting Q & A and talk about how and when i started songwriting, how to overcome writer’s block, where i draw inspiration & more.
in this video, i’ll kind of share with you my journey with songwriting. i’ve shared & reacted to my songwriting in many videos before & i’ve written a LOT of songs. there were definitely a ton of really bad ones haha, but i just wanted to show y’all where i started. i hope this answers most of the questions y’all have about the songwriting process & if you want to see more in a part 2 let me know!!

can you upload the songs that you write on spotify
I am someone who has a difficult time expressing how I feel and for me, if I can put my feelings to music or write a song it helps me to communicate and express myself. Anyway, I have written lyrics and it's still a working process it's in a hip-hop/rap genre. I also don't sing but I can still get my ideas out there. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and tips on songwriting. ?????

Glad you are back. I know you love swift but could you do a Mr. JONES TUTORIAL? Have a great day! -Ryan
As I’ve been writing songs over the last few months at least I’ve been trying to consider the flow the album I want to write, and I’ve been getting inspired to write songs that might fit into gaps in the story I want to tell for the overall album. Maybe trying to conceptualize an album while songwriting could help some others get over their writers block.
You are back! Can you please make a tutorial of "how you get the girl" from 2015 grammy's museum?
If you ask what contents I want to see, they’re guitar tutorials, especially ones with advanced techniques like picking and new chords; you writing songs and playing them for us and lyrics breakdown (yes please!!!)

Something that’s helpful with writers block is to just rewrite a song concept. For example if you had a specific concept and you’ve already written a song from it just write a completely new song using that same concept and go from there.
YAAAAYYYY UR BACK NENA <33 WELCOME BACK WE MISS YOU SM!!!! <33
Happy that you’re back!!
