On today's show, I have singer/songwriter Will Dailey.

In this episode, Will shares some brilliant marketing ideas and talks about:

Tools: Try cutting something in half

  • the chorus
  • the bridge
  • a bar
  • a line
  • do something upsetting to your cadence

Great advice on writing your best verse 2

Why songwriting is good for you even if it’s not your profession

Step outside your comfort genre

Finding your instrument

Don’t worry about the note you sing

Worry about the truth you sing

Mumbling as lyrical placeholder

Starting with narrative

Process over outcome
