Background

Having now written over 50 of his own songs, Andrew, along with other renown writers Condy Canuto and Bruce Napier, shares his secrets for the writing of great melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.

There are no RULES for songwriting; only principles and guidelines.

The key is learning how to write great hooks; hooks that catch people and draw them into the message, truth and theme of the song.

There are some basic fundamentals that formulate hit songs, no matter what style or genre they are.

Songwriting is a craft, a gift, an inspiration from God that enables us to communicate on another level; through music, melodies, harmonies and rhythms we can declare how great God really is!

Stirring up creativity is like using a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Find out how you can write one song a day!
