Ken Domash  certainly didn’t set out to become a country artist.  As an architect with his own firm in St. Louis, Ken was quite satisfied with his life until the music bug bit.  Now he’s got a grass-roots campaign to get him on your radio dial by visiting hundreds of radio stations across the country.  We had a chance to catch up with Ken to see how a successful architect transitions to a rising country star.

Now it’s time for our weekly Songwriter Tip, This week we sit down with James Dean Hicks as he tells us why it’s so important for a songwriter to hear positive criticism.
