This podcast is for all songwriters, whether just starting or advanced – no musical background necessary! Composer and teacher Joseph Lilore covers the techniques of modern hit songwriters (“Circles” by Post Malone, “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish), along with in-depth analysis of popular songs through time (“Something” by The Beatles, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana). The first series of lessons is an interactive course, where Joe plays chord progressions on the guitar as you sing along, turning your words into melodies. By the end of that series you will have written your first song, and you will be able to compose as many songs as you wish, in any style – pop, jazz, rock, country & more! Over 45 episodes so far, with new episodes released regularly.

Hello fellow songwriters, I’m Trey Xavier and this is the How Songs Are Made podcast. You may know me from the Gear Gods YouTube channel or my band In Virtue. And on this show, I’ll be talking to notable musical artists to learn about their songwriting process, how it is that they go from a seed of an idea to a full-blown song arrangement, and all the steps in between.

I’m here to bring the songwriting wisdom of the masters of the craft to you directly, and to get the most usable advice from them to make you the most effective songwriter you can be. There are some other podcasts out there about songwriting, but this is the only one focused on finding out the HOW – the real techniques and creative process that real successful songwriters use to write their best songs.
