2002 - write something
2004 - write something that entertains my friends
2008 - write something that gets me paid
2012 - write something that won’t get me fired
2018 - write something that’s not motivated by outside forces
2022 - write something i can trust

if you’re a young songwriter, do NOT follow this timeline as a model for success. there’s no one-size-fits-all business model for success in any industry- and keep in mind, ‘success’ is subjective. hell, music is subjective! i’m no expert and still have heaps to learn, but when i’m asked, “what advice would you give your younger self?,” i usually rattle on with the following: be careful with whom you take advice from and to what you attach your name. you’ll make mistakes, but fight the urge to self-publish until you’ve developed your writing voice with hundreds of tunes under your belt. ‘perspective’ and ‘experience’ are far better writing tools than any musical instrument, software, or app. show up every morning and write like it’s your job- even before it’s your job. and above all else, remember that ‘time’ will always help to soften the rougher edges.
