Do You Hear Music in Your Head All the Time?
Sometimes it’s a song from one of your favorite artists that keeps you company through the day.
Sometimes you’re not even aware you’re singing or tapping along to your inner playlist — until someone around you comments on it.
And sometimes, it’s an earworm that won’t let go, and you wish it would just leave you alone.
(Pro tip: The best way to get rid of a tune in your head that you don’t like is to replace it with one you do.)
But other times…
It’s something else.
A half-formed idea. A foggy little melody.
A phrase you can’t shake.
A chord progression you feel in your bones.
Something that feels like it’s coming from you — but also to you.
And you don’t know where it’s going yet.
You just know you need to follow it.
Searching for the Underground River
You’ve caught glimpses of something beautiful.
A thread you want to pull.
A signal you want to tune into more clearly.
You know there’s more inside you.
You feel it moving — just below the surface — like water beneath dry land.
A deep flow of creativity that’s waiting for you to tap in.
But how do you find the current?
Who I Serve
Budding Songwriters
You want to write songs that crack people open. Songs that matter.
Not just something catchy or clever — but something true.
You’re not interested in copying other people’s styles or churning out generic rehashes.
You’re looking for something more honest, more personal.
Something with soul.
You’ve probably found bits and pieces —
A melody here, a lyric there — but you haven’t quite found the through line yet.
You want to bring your whole self to the song — your stories, your lived experience, your vulnerability.
But being that honest feels risky.
Are you ready to let people see you as you truly are?
Heart-Centered Singers
You want to sing in a way that feels real — not mechanical or performative.
You’re not trying to impress anyone. You just want to sound like you.
To feel connected to your voice — and to the part of you it comes from.
To sing with ease, and emotion, and authenticity.
Beginner to Intermediate Guitar or Ukulele Players
You want to express yourself through your instrument — not just memorize shapes or patterns.
You’re not trying to become a shredder or impress at open mic night.
You just want to feel more fluid, more confident, and more you in your playing.
To accompany your songs. To serve your voice.
To have your instrument become an extension of your creative voice.
Getting Past the Doubts
If you’ve ever heard those voices —
The teacher who told you not to sing.
The friends or family who didn’t “get” your creative side.
The inner critic who says “be realistic,” “you’re not good enough,” or “what’s the point?”
— You’re not alone.
Most of us have soaked up messages that keep us small.
But if you’re still reading this, some part of you hasn’t given up.
Some part of you knows this calling is real.
You are meant to do this.
Where do you go from here?
Maybe you can do it all yourself.
I was a pretty stubborn DIY-er for a long time. And sometimes that path is rewarding.
But other times, it helps to have someone walk with you — someone who knows the way.
If you’re like me, you’re careful about who you go to for support.
So let’s not assume anything.
I don’t claim to be the perfect fit for every artist.
