Today, Callum and Jamie chat to the wonderful Grace Jackson.

In this episode, you will discover:

• The subtle and important difference between writing for yourself, as an artist, and knowing when one of your songs is for someone else. Grace knows a good deal about both! 
• The importance of finding your ‘why’ as a songwriter.
• To develop as a writer it takes time and understanding WHY we need to be patient and use this time efficiently. 
• Where Grace learned to shape her velvet vocals, the challenges of being a ‘sensitive kid’ and some of the struggles she has faced so far in the industry. 
• How we can try to avoid ‘infecting the perception’. 
• Why Grace hates dating apps and how that relates to the creative process of writing.
• A VERY unique and free approach to writing that moves towards the meditative. 
• What it means to make yourself ‘available’ to write songs.
