If you're like me, you might have had a feeling for a long time that "there's a lot more to my guitar than just re-hashing the same covers and chord progressions over and over".

That you can make something new with it.

Maybe you too, for years, wanted to be able to write your own songs, for your own enjoyment and curiosity.

Then, when you made a move, you might have watched different YT videos, read some blog posts or even bought a few books, but nothing really managed to stick, and pretty much no songs were written.

The desire was left unanswered.

The problem with songwriting is that it's an elusive thing. It's difficult to describe how to get to that state where "songs come to you", and how to stay there and keep writing.

I was there too, for years, wanting to write songs, develop a collection of different songs from different kinds, and have my "legacy". But the years passed, and it seemed like I only managed to somehow write a song every once in a blue moon.

When I did do it, it felt absolutely amazing - the best feelings I ever felt with music - but how can you "align the stars" and make it happen much more often? What makes a song "good"? And what are the "secrets" for creating lyrics, progressions, and melodies that can give people "the feels"?

So I finally decided to set out and crack the code.

I wanted to realise how to consistently write the best songs that I can, and I wanted to turn songwriting into a skill that's available for a wider audience, not just for gifted celebrities.

If that's something that you want to do - you get it! There's no reason to be left outside of the most satisfying avenue of music-making.

So after 10 years of writing songs, I decided to hone in on it single-mindedly, and I embarked on a journey that took me 14 months of full-time work, wrote 100's of songs, and learned from countless resources.

Then, in late 2021, I came out on the other side with the Songwriting Inspirations course, which so far helped 900+ people just like you to reach this dream of creating their own music, consistently.

Let's start your journey.

I believe the process should all be about having fun and enjoying your transformation into a creator.

You'll learn how to turn songwriting into a healthy habit that comes easily - your favorite "me time" - even if you are a very busy person.

- 14 chapters, 35+ videos. The learning on the course is interactive and divided into chapters, with enjoyable creative activities that help you ingrain the materials while writing songs yourself.

- We will be learning with 100's of diverse examples from the most popular songs of all time, all the way from Elvis / Bob Dylan / Beatles classics from the 50's-60's to Taylor Swift / Ed Sheeran / Harry Styles songs from these days.
