We know the songs, but how do they come into being?
We talk to songwriters of any persuasion about their songwriting experiences, their inspirations, and the how and why of turning their musical ideas into song. Join us for fascinating insights into how songs get written and how the artists ply their trade, featuring a different songwriter each week.
