Customer Reviews
This will help you on your journey :)
Excellent podcast beautifully presented by the wonderful Scarlet Keys. There are so many gems in these episodes that even as an electronic dance music producer and film composer I’m able to take away something from country music to Taylor Swift, and add it to the toolbox in my mind. Nothing great is easy, and as artists we need every bit of help in order to fully express ourselves and create something of value for everyone to enjoy. Thank you Scarlet! Rahi @rahimalikdj
Inspiring
Wonderful podcast for all music lovers, especially songwriters and people interested in the craft of songwriting. Every episode is a mini-masterclass, presented in an accessible, entertaining style. Scarlet clearly possesses a vast depth of knowledge, but wears it lightly and seems always to know just the right questions to get the best out of each guest and deliver great learning. Unmissable.
