30 Day Songwriting Challenge

I believe in the power of quantity’s ability to churn out quality. If you bake a sourdough bread everyday for a month, then you’ll inevitably glean new insight into the practice of bread making. The same is true for songs. Thus, I issue a challenge to you: write a song every day for 30 days.

I know it sounds a little crazy but I think the benefits are numerous. Firstly, you’ll walk away with a more robust catalogue and thirty new songs. Certainly, some of these songs will be duds but a few of them might be standout material for pitch or for personal release. This type of focused pursuit will also help you to unlock creative flow. When we are rewriting constantly, we sometimes find that new material falls out of us a bit easier. This reran serve us during the challenge and afterward. Lastly, you’ll be forced to examine songs and the craft on a daily basis. This will help you refine skills and develop new ones that will serve you in the years to come.

A 30 day songwriting challenge can also serve you in the internet era. When content is the currency of the day, quantity-minded pursuits like this provide you with a treasure trove of portable goodies. You can post these daily song challenges on TikTok, IG Reels, and YouTube shorts to keep your audience engaged and see what peaks algorithmic interest.

Whether you’re new the craft or a veteran songwriter, a 30 day song per day songwriting challenge is an opportunity for growth. I highly recommend setting out on this adventure.
