Write What You Know… Or What Your Cowriter Knows

cropped-music_row_signs322.jpg

Brent is a hit songwriter with cuts by Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Lady Antebellum, Joe Nichols, Gord Bamford, Ray Stevens, and more.  He’s written a top 5 hit in the US and a #1 in Canada… so far.

If you haven’t experienced the country lifestyle, you probably can’t write about it believably.  Write what YOU know – don’t try to out-redneck a redneck.  However, if your cowriter is a legit country boy or girl, draw from his or her experience.  This expands what you can write about believably.  Teamwork.

God Bless,

Brent
