  • Great Program!

    Connor's program and Connor himself was so helpful in progressing my music career and songwriting. I entered his program with little confidence and knowledge of songwriting at all. I learned how to be organized, follow through to the end with songs, and take the next steps to release them. I've since moved to Nashville, put out several songs, and will be releasing a full album in December! Connor's the man and I'm so happy to have him in my corner.

  • Great coach!

    Connor was an excellent help to me in my decades old songwriting journey. He (and his team and community) helped me take even an old song (with which I was already pretty satisfied) and push it up to another level. Definitely a guy who knows the business and can help out even an old dog like me!

  • Great Podcast!

    I came into Connor's mentorship struggling with where to go when I get to the 2nd verse and keeping in the theme of the song.

    Between his mentorship class, podcast and social media posts I left feeling more grounded in what I wanted to say as well as having more ways to say it.

    I plan to work him again for my next album!

    Thanks, Connor!

  • Thank you Connor!!

    Awesome experience! I came into the program with a passion for learning about the songwriting process, but I struggled with organizing my ideas and having faith in my abilities as an artist. With the help and encouragement of Connor and Julie as my mentors, and the wonderful community I met within the program, I walked away with a better understanding of my style, how to effectively structure my songs, 3 demos, and guidance throughout the whole process! It gave me a lot of confidence and a good ... more

  • Grateful for Connor’s Guidance

    I came across Connor's profile on Instagram a few years ago and decided to reach out. I joined his 1:1 coaching program, "Voice Memo to Demo," since I had many songs written and needed guidance on how to finalize them and make them fully fleshed out songs. His coaching helped me immensely in learning how to turn my songs into a form that could better communicate my vision to producers.

    Through his help, I worked with a local producer + musicians to create a professional single available on all ... more
