🎸 Power to the Pinky – Episode 8

A Walkthrough of my Songwriting Process!

Songwriting can feel like magic orrrr a total mystery. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my personal songwriting process: where ideas come from, how I turn them into full songs, and what I do when inspiration doesn’t strike.

🎙️ This one was sparked by a thoughtful question from listener Michael:

“What’s your songwriting process like? Lyrics first, riffs first, or something else?”

I’ll walk you through how I approach writing, the tools and tricks I rely on, and the mindset that keeps me moving even when I hit creative walls. Whether you’ve written 50 songs or none at all, I hope this episode gives you something useful (and maybe even a little spark of your own).

🎧 What You’ll Hear:

✅ Where my song ideas usually start
✅ The writing routines (and detours) that work for me
✅ Why “bad” ideas are actually gold
✅ Practical tips for getting unstuck and finishing your songs
