Linney, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, DJ, Tastemaker

Great songs rarely begin with a melody. They begin with a moment: a passing thought, a conversation, a memory, or an emotion that refuses to let go.

In this workshop, songwriter and artist Linney shares her process for recognizing those creative sparks before they disappear and transforming them into meaningful lyrics, melodies, and stories. Through real-world examples from her own catalog, practical writing exercises, and techniques for developing stronger creative instincts, you’ll learn how to uncover inspiration in everyday life, build a library of song ideas, and write from a place of honesty that resonates with listeners.

Whether you’re an experienced songwriter or just beginning, you’ll leave with a practical framework for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary songs.
