Get into a pro songwriter’s mind!

Johnny takes a title submitted by a CLIMBer like you, and he springs it on me live! Then I have to figure out how to make it a hit… yikes! Watch me blow up or flame out.

If you want to submit a title, send it to Johnny at info@daredevilproduction.com. It’s not a cowrite. You keep 100% ownership of whatever you write, and you’re free to use any ideas I throw out. I am NOT a cowriter on this. Any ideas are simply my gift to you!

Most indie artists are unaware of their brand and consequently, their social media is confusing to customers. And if you confuse, you lose.

Artists are always talking about their “brand,” but how do you really define it? Listen to Lexi and Johnny discuss some cool ways that will help you define your brand so that your messaging can be clear. Mastering this will easily separate you from all the other indie artists!
