I have talked to a lot of friends who are really focused on what the industry wants to hear or “writing a hit.” I feel like you should write music that you would want to listen to, because if it comes from the heart, it will find an audience.

So many emotions. So much vulnerability put out into the world to share with others.
Fear of being seen… judgement.
Sometimes it’s totally miserable and it’s hard to believe that someone else could enjoy or relate to that feeling and that music.
But, I have to remember that one persons pain is another’s pleasure in some strange way and that we all need to be sad and embrace that feeling sometimes.
Being a songwriter is about being able to say or convey feelings and experiences in a way that someone knew they felt, but couldn’t express! It’s about connection and letting others knew they are not alone.
I’ve always loved hearing a song and thinking “that’s exactly how I feel! I couldn’t have put those words and that imagery together better myself”! It‘s amazing when we can hop on someone else’s frequency and their emotional-visual experience.

Poet & songwriter best known as the frontman of “Silver Jews,“ and the lesser known “Purple Mountains,“ Berman has a way of exploring the beauty in the darker aspects of life. Berman tragically took his in 2019. He had such a special way with words both as a poet and a songwriter. My favorite song of his, “Famous Eyes” is linked above.

Founded in 1995, Broadcast was an English band that drew influences from 60s psychedelia, electronic, and experimental music. Following the death of their lead singer in 2011, Broadcast has found a new life and a cult following due to the mystery surrounding the band. I’ve linked my favorite album, Tender Buttons above.

Due to the involvement of the US Military Sponsoring SXSW, many bands and artists have opted to pull out of SXSW as protest for the ongoing genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine. I’m very proud of my friends from Perfectly Imperfect and Baby’s All Right for dropping out of SXSW, and for standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Free Palestine 🍉
