The Power Of Songwriting

In Smith’s collaborative songwriting sessions, participants come together around a specific theme of interest to a client—purpose, diversity & inclusion, conflict-resolution, culture-merging are just a few examples of themes he has tackled through song. Each session begins with a series of prompts and questions designed to elicit meaningful and often unspoken truths in the room. The chorus and verses are then crafted using the responses as creative fodder. At the end of the session the participants will have written a song that holds their individual and collective story, with the lyric expressing their vision of the present and hopes for the future. No two songs are alike, and prior to the session, even Smith doesn’t know what the result will be. Smith has written songs with clients on a wide range of topics. No topic is too mundane, too challenging, or too anything really, to be off-limits. In fact, the fresh approach that collaborative songwriting brings to any topic often unlocks insights necessary to see it in an entirely new and more inspiring way..
