Radical Songwriting

EP#71: Being yourself might annoy people (but that's a GOOD thing!)

Watch the video of this episode >>

There is no hiding from the fact that when you write songs from a place of honesty and authenticity some people will not like it.

They won't like the music. 

They won't like your point of view. 

They won't like the fact that you are audacious enough to do whatever the f*** you want.

You making YOUR music p*sses some people off. 

How do I know this? 

Because I received an explicit email directly from one of those people.

It completely broke me. 

I mean I literally STOPPED writing songs as a result. 

📖 All the details are here in this little "story time" video I made >>

Of course, I am here today with a beautiful back-catalogue of incredible music in my wake that I am proud of and can completely stand behind 💪

But the scar is still there. 

And although I agree that opinions are important and should be shared there is a huge caveat to my POV - that those opinions contribute to our world as a whole with a positive end-result in mind. 

So someone telling me "I don't like your music" just doesn't fly with me anymore, sorry. 

Opinion DENIED. 🙅🏽‍♀️

It's useless information.

So, what I want you to take from this email and the video is...

  • Know who you are and strive to write your music from a place of complete authenticity. 
  • Share your music, please. 
  • Prepare for opinions, everyone's got one. 
  • Deal with those opinions from a centred place of integrity and value.

We go over ALL of this stuff (and so much more!) inside the Authentic Songwriting: 3 Day LIVE Workshop - register your space here.

Keep doing you. 

You got this! Rosie 😎
