In this video
With the release of my Home Recording course, I've had a lot of messages about how to get started with songwriting.
I've done a few of videos on this before (all of them below) and I plan on doing a full course on songwriting later this year. However, I wanted to get something to help you guys asap, which made me remember this video from 2019!
This was a long form chat with George Holiday, songwriting teacher at Waterbear Music College in Brighton and founder of Made On The Road productions. I was asked questions about how I got started songwriting and also what I've learned from analysing 1000s of songs over the years from research and teaching.
I hope some of this proves useful and I wish you all the best with your songwriting!

In case you're not aware of my songs, you can check out my album First Words on Spotify and my second album on Bandcamp here.
See below an older video with my top 10 songwriting tips. This is mainly intended to inspire beginners to be able to come up with something original. However, every one of the following 10 points is used by professional songwriters and artists, as well as being useful tools that I use too!
In this video I will show you one of the trends that can be found in many hit songs of 2018. See the songs examples with links to TAB under the video!
