Description

As the artist "Manafest" I've sold over 300,000 Albums Worldwide over 1,000,000 singles and toured 18 different countries!

I've written the majority of my songs with my producer Adam Messinger (Magic!, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown) and learned what it takes to write a hit song.

All my students get direct email access to me to ask any questions (Invaluable)

This course covers the basics & Advanced concepts of songwriting from song structures to melodies.

The Overcoming Writers Block Module is essential to any writer learning about block time to schedule in writing sessions. Songs don't get written by themselves you have to make the time and just do it.

I meet a lot of songwriters who are broke because they refuse to learn the business of songwriting. I cover this and give you a lot of ideas on how you can make real money with your songs.

I've built a hundred thousand plus a year music brand and now want to help other artists.

Success didn't happen overnight. It takes a lot of hardwork and dedication but you can do it too. Never give up!

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for new and seasoned songwriters especially if your not making money with your current songs
