From THE SONGWRITING SPACE

Write a memorable catchy Song — Pro Songwriting Workshop (4 Hours) This is a focused, small-group songwriting session designed for people who are serious about improving their craft — whether you’re just starting or already creating your own music. I’m a professional artist and songwriter with chart and radio experience, and I’ve collaborated with writers behind million-selling records and number-one singles in the US. I want to bring the experience of being in the writing room to this space. I will take you through each element:The sharing of ideas, striving to find what’s best for a song, and seeing an idea through from concept to completion. This is not a lecture or casual meet-up — it’s a hands-on creative session where you’ll actively write and develop, your own material. What you’ll learn: * How to write a killer chorus * The three elements that make up a commercial song * How to develop a strong lyric * The art of collaboration * You’ll Receive direct, constructive feedback in a focused, supportive environment. Who it’s for: This workshop is designed for people who are serious about developing their songwriting — even if you’re at an early stage or more experienced. What to bring: If you play an instrument, bring it along. Also if you have struggled with finishing an idea or are stuck, bring that to the space. Format: * Limited to 6 participants to keep the session focused and high-quality * 4-hour in-person session (private apartment setting in central Paris) * Respectful, creative, and committed atmosphere Price: Introductory rate: €80 Standard pricing will be higher for future sessions.
