The dream was to build a safe community for creatives who want to explore their musical potential in a way that goes beyond traditional music education. And so in August 2021 SoundPaint Academy was created! I deeply believe that music & songwriting flourishes when a musician is given the freedom to explore sound & creativity. This is where sound makes you laugh, cry, think, anything we humans can reach with our emotions, and express ourselves with color and light at a supersonic rate. Notes are our colors, and we use them to paint the full gamut of what we feel. Feel free to follow me in these places... THANK YOU TO ALL MY WONDERFUL SUBSCRIBERS!! YOU'RE THE BEST!! HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY EXPLORING MUSIC WITH ME! |

Hey Reader It’s time for some tough love. If you’re serious about songwriting, you cannot keep tiptoeing around music theory. Imagine moving to a country where you don’t speak the language. Sure, you might scrape by with gestures and a phrasebook. But try asking for directions to somewhere specific—you’re stuck. Frustrating, right? That’s exactly what happens when you sit down to write a song without understanding music theory. Music theory is a language. A powerful one. And if you’re not...
Hey Reader As 2024 draws to a close, I want to challenge you to take a moment and think about 2025. What do you want your music to look like one year from now?
