“From the very beginning of my songwriting journey, NSAI has often been one thing that validated my efforts. Through workshops, song evaluations, writers nights and newsletters, NSAI gave me the encouragement to not give up. The Tin Pan South Songwriting Festival, still going strong after thirteen years, was a slice of heaven for a beginning writer – I learned so much from watching my idols and received so much support from other dreamers like me. When I look back, I can’t believe how far I’ve come but I believe, with all my heart, that NSAI has been the friend I needed for this crazy, beautiful journey called songwriting.”
