Coal for everyone! a very Joshua Jesty Christmas, by joshua jesty 16/12/2023

Yearly reminder to listen to Joshua Jesty's amazing Christmas album! Every single year, I recommend this album to everyone I know. I have a particular love for Die Hard the Song and Trampled to Death in a Big Box Store. But the best part is, if you buy the album on bandcamp, you get the updates- and there's a new song every year! This year: My Drunk Uncle, and it's great!

Online Learning: Creative Classes on Skillshare | Start for Free 12/05/2022

My third and final Skillshare course is live! I saved the best for last- this is a course to help you write songs in one hour just like I do.

I've put a lot of thought into this course in particular, and I'm really proud of it. I've focused on being practical- step by step, how do you actually, really, sit down and write a song? We often imagine that creativity is an innate gift, but I see it as a skill that you can practice and improve, like any other skill. I don't think that takes the "magic" out of it - it just makes the magic more accessible!

So- this is my complete, step-by-step process for writing songs in an hour or less. Many of you have watched (and HELPED) me do this many times. Now it's your turn. I can't wait to hear what you write!

I'm Not Like Other Girls, by Kate Hart 24/09/2021

It's ready! Check out my new song, "I'm Not Like Other Girls"! It fits right in to my ever-growing Kate Sings About Monsters collection, so get in there and add it to your Halloween playlist.

If you've heard me do this song live, you should know that this version sounds VERY different. Guggy helped me mix it up just right.
