write a song with me in 30 minutes :)
taking another break from tutorials today to share with you my songwriting process. i’m really hoping to make more videos about the songwriting process and my experience with it, so if you guys would like more videos like this, please let me know in the comments!!
in this video, we’re just going to sit down, drink some chai and attempt to write a song in 30 minutes. i never really put a time restraint on songwriting but i thought it would be fun to let you guys see a behind the scenes of how i write my songs and the process. if you want to see more let me know!!
