Welcome to 2023

Another year has rolled our way, with all of the magic that a new beginning can bring. Here, in the hills of California, a torrential downpour is falling from the sky. We hope that it will usher us away from drought into a year of abundance. When the past is wiped clean, a future of infinite possibility appears. 

I have my own goals for 2023 - a series of fulfilling writing retreats, perhaps the publishing of a new book - but I also have dreams for you dear reader. I know that somewhere on this globe you sit behind the blue light of a computer or a phone with your own dreams. Please know that I am sitting here using my words and wishes to help you manifest the future that you want. 

My wishes include but are not limited to the following: co-writers who recognize your strengths and let you shine whenever possible, an unexpected release from your back catalog, a doubling of your streaming count, a publishing meeting that goes exactly how you expected to, and a high paying sync in your favorite reality show.

We are, all of us, working towards different goals in the music industry this year. Some of you are penning songs for others and some of you for yourself. Some of you are writing pop songs that could fit into a tv show and others still are writing instrumental music for trailers. 

Each week, roughly 1500 people look to this blog to seek knowledge, guidance, and community. Whenever you feel alone on this dream of ours, remember that there are others just like you in a worldwide community pushing themselves forward. Let that community - known or anonymous - push you to keep going.

You’re not alone. 2023 is the year you win.
