Are your music and lyrics fighting with each other?
Have your verses been feeling out of touch with your chorus?
Does your hook need help expressing itself?
Hi there! My name is Jamie. I’m a Grammy-nominated songwriter and independent recording artist/publisher who also loves to coach and mentor songwriters and artists.
Most recently, I co-wrote Jake Hoot & Kelly Clarkson’s song “I Would’ve Loved You. I also co-wrote Kesha’s single “Resentment”off of her album Highroad which features Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, Sturgill Simpson and Wrabel. I’ve been fortunate to have songs recorded by Miranda Lambert, Brian McKnight, Ronnie Dunn, Ashley Monroe, Ingrid Andress, Madi Diaz, Hayden Panettiere, Kellie Picker and Lucie Silvas among others.
I’ve also written music for film & TV and I’m currently working on a musical intended for Broadway called “The King’s Wife”.
Through my 24-year journey in the music industry I have discovered a love for coaching and mentoring, I feel very strongly about empowering others by sharing my magical moments and mistakes.
Whether you’re looking for perspective from a professional songwriter, or some street-smart advice about the music biz – I am here to help.
The music industry tells you there’s a certain way to do things – and that can absolutely be true. That doesn’t mean you can’t color outside the lines and get creative. I’ve achieved recognition & success, booked co-writes, discovered opportunities and gotten the elusive ‘outside cut’ as an independent without a deal or the funding.
‘THE BLADE’, performed by Ashley Monroe
“You have to write with the artist to get the cut.”
I’d never met the artist and my song was the only track on the album she didn’t write.
“You won’t land a cut with a sad, slow song.”
This sad, slow song was the title track.
“You have to have a publishing deal to make it big.”
In 2016, I was waiting tables to pay myself to write songs full time when The Blade was nominated for a Grammy.
Let’s talk goals and then dive right in.
I listen to your songs for the first time during the session: first impressions are extremely valuable in helping me formulate my recommendations. I also find it is helpful to ask questions concerning your goals with your song before we dive in. You’ll get No BS insight, honest opinions, thoughtful encouragement and reality checks from me based off 24 years of experience in a wide variety of music biz situations.
Can’t seem to nail a 2nd verse even after a bunch of re-writes?
Not sure why your chorus doesn’t connect to the rest of the song?
Bring as many questions as you like into the session and we’ll get through as many as we can. 3-5 songs is usually the sweet spot for a 90min session, depending how many questions you have and what introspective ‘a-ha’ moments occur. Your songs will be assessed and I’ll advise on exactly how to go about solving your problem based on the specific issue your having.
The session can also act as a review to pinpoint opportunities for growth and strengthen your melody and lyrics. I don’t give blanket advice—it will (and should) change based on what your ultimate goals and dreams are for your music.
When you’re working on your songs, you’re working on yourself.
It’s not always fun or easy being a songwriter. It’s a tricky business and writing great songs can take a toll on your self-esteem. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to about your musical frustrations. I’ve got your back.
All Song Therapy sessions will take place over Zoom video chat.
If you’re doing an intensive or a deep-dive, this is how we’ll communicate between sessions. You’ll be able to send text, video and audio messages to me directly and get daily feedback.
Whether you need the perspective of a pro for a few songs, or you want to challenge yourself to an immersive songwriting experience, I offer variety of Song Therapy options.
Let’s dive in! Sessions are uniquely personalized to discuss your songs and tackle any issues you’re up against.
I’ll ask you questions, you’ll ask me questions, and we’ll address what comes up.
I’ll give you insight to help make your song stronger and take your songwriting to the next level.
