You're an inspiraton Jesse. I've been a songwriter for a long time, but I get stuck on how to promote my music to the next level. I wrote a beautiful piece that I feel would be perfect for Celine Dion and it's in French. Record companies don't accept unsolicited material, what do you have to do? Check out my song "Sainte Marie' on you tube.

To learn the real formula of writing a song, search for "The Hook" by Nelson Montana. If nothing else, you'll get a good laugh.

@poopyscoopy5 I agree it could have been a little more in depth informative. However I'm as sure as the day is long you can find some guy in a coffee shop tell you how good he is, problem is that douche that you'll get to talk to you doesn't have the hardware or the credentials this guy has.

He won his Grammies for Norah Jones' hits. That's probably all that you've heard by Jesse, for the most part. He's a member of Conor Oberst's band Bright Eyes and has written some stuff for jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux.
