At the beginning of 2025 I decided I wanted to write a new song every week. Sonny and Georgia, the amazing owners of Wildwood Recording Studio in Brooklyn, NY have been so helpful in this pursuit by hosting a weekly songwriting challenge. Each week they share a simple prompt on Monday and songs (in whatever state of completion) have to be submitted by Saturday. It has been a fun challenge and great accountability to keep writing, and I currently hold the disctinction of being the only three-time winner of the contest (Week 8, Week 13, and Week 18). These are all the songs (all recorded live on my phone or with a quick mic setup) raw and rough. There are mistakes, bad notes, dogs barking… but the songs exist. Maybe one day some of them will be singles or on an EP. Either way, I wanted to share them with you in their earliest forms. Happy listening!
