Mark Cawley - Coaching Songwriters and Artists
You
You write songs or perform because you want to communicate; but communication is hard if no one's hearing you. How do you stand out in such a crowded industry? How do you separate useful information from noise? By working with someone who has done what you want to do; not just some self-help 'expert', but someone with real experience.
Me
I'm fortunate enough to have a long list of credits as a songwriter: from Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Chaka Khan, Taylor Dayne, Diana Ross, Kathy Mattea and Wynonna, to Pop Idol winners around the world and pop stars like the Spice Girls and Billie Piper, singers' singers Paul Carrack, Will Downing, and Brenda Russell. My songs have appeared on more than 15 million records to date but what I've become most passionate about in the past few years is mentoring creative songwriters and artists.
Us
Through ongoing, one-on-one songwriting sessions online via Skype or Facetime, by phone, or in person, you and I will work together. Not just critiquing songs but actually digging in and coming up with a game plan. It's not a 'sit in the back of the class' kind of experience, but actively working with you towards your goals.
