Jay Rence is a producer, mixing engineer and artist.
Listen to this whole interview for some amazing, fresh ideas on production, songwriting, and work, in general.

In this episode, J and Jay talk about:
- How having a separate source of income from songwriting can free you to be as creative as you need to
- Does Jay approach writing and producing for himself differently than he does when working with clients?
- Production must serve the song. Prosody!
- What makes up your artistic DNA, and why it's important to know yourself
- Contrast is needed not just in the songwriting stage, but also in production
- Writing for yourself, but with the listener's experience in mind
- Digging deep into painful feelings to write honest songs
-  Lyrical. Deep. Diving.
- Jay reviews Jamie's coaching services
- and literally nothing else. That's all they talked about.
Nah, not really, they covered more topics, of course they did!

- Listening to podcasts while working out is a great way to exercise both your body and your mind
- Being frugal for a while to help fund your songwriting career
- Playing over 120 shows a year
- An honest song is a good song

Q: How do you get inspired when the well seems to be running dry?
