Welcome to FiftySongs

About

The first FiftySongs group started in January of 2022 as a result of me having the flu over Christmas. Not knowing whether I had Covid or not, I was quarantined in a room at my mom's house and finally had the time to bring to fruition an idea I had. I built the website, figured out the game plan and starting putting the word out and miraculously people joined. In the beginning the rules were really strict. Miss three submissions and you were kicked out forever. But then I got to know the participants and couldn't bear to give them the boot because life also happens. So I loosened up and became their biggest cheerleader.  I have a squishy heart!

Since the inception the participants have been writing and submitting their songs each week. They have had classes on various songwriting topics and the group has become very close knit, like a songwriting family.

As their host, I never imagined the incredible things that have happened as a result of creating this group. Life long friendships have been forged, amazing music has been written, confidence has been cultivated, commitment has been challenged, imperfection has been celebrated, mental muscles have been worked and worked and worked, hidden talent has been exposed, deep feelings have been processed and most importantly every member has become someone new, they have BECOME SONGWRITERS, some even say they feel like themselves for the first time in their life. They have proven that they can stick to something challenging for a long time. They have made songwriting a lifestyle and that will stay with them their entire lives. The recipe for success is commitment, consistency and letting go of perfectionism. That's it!

Having a front row seat to all of this has been incredibly rewarding and I want to see the transformation again and again with YOU! 

I wrote songs every week right along side them so I can say without hesitation that it is doable. I am an extremely busy mom of 2 young children, voice coach, recording artist, volunteer, and wife of a firefighter (so I'm a single mom a lot of the time). If I have time to write, so do you, if it is important to you. That doesn't mean every song is a hit but what matters is consistency.

Currently many of my participants are recording and releasing their music. You can hear some of it on the FiftySongs Spotify Playlist below!  By the end of 2024 over 30 FiftySongs songs will be released!
