In this episode, I sit down with the legendary @StephonySmith!


From singing harmonies with her brother in Memphis to writing award-winning hits like “It’s Your Love,” “Johnny and June,” and “Big Star,” Stephony's journey is nothing short of iconic.


We talk about how she got her start writing jingles, what it was like moving to Nashville in the late ‘80s, and the magic behind some of country music’s most unforgettable songs.


Stephony shares the stories behind her biggest cuts, how she found her voice as a solo writer, and what it means to stay grounded in an ever-changing industry.


With heart, humor, and a deep love for the craft, Stephony gives incredible insight for any aspiring songwriter out there. Don’t miss this inspiring and honest conversation with one of the best to ever do it!
