"The eXperience changed my perspective on how I see myself as a singer and a song writer. With every experience, I’ve gained positive perspectives and constructive criticisms about my gift. Can you say GROWTH?! I’m so glad I’m apart of this community! SONGSHARE ALL DAY BABY!"
Kayla Vinson (Georgia / US)
"The eXperience is like a homecoming event and family reunion! It’s full of community, great vibes, and great music! Each experience that I’ve been to just gets better and better! The creativity in lyrics and melodies blow my mind at every Songshare. There’s really nothing like this community."
Tierra Willis (Michigan / US)
"I was so nervous to come to The eXperience as a first timer, but as soon as I stepped in the door, everyone was so warm and kind, and the atmosphere was so fun and inviting! You’d fit right in too! Everyone truly is there to cheer each other on, and grow their talents and stretch themselves and I already can’t wait to come to the next one!"
Catie Packard (West Virginia / US)
"SongShare is just IT. The community, the songs ... everything about SongShare has me coming back for more after every experience. The first time I walked in the door at The eXperience all my nerves went away after being embraced with so much love. It truly felt like being welcomed by family. Being able to share your heart and ideas in sessions without any judgement is so comforting. And then watching those ideas/stories/conversations come to life at the SongShare Concerts is one of the best feelings in the world!! Two words: GET HERE! (Iykyk🤪)"
Jada Lee (California / US)
"Have you ever "not been hungry" until you eat... and then you realize that you actually were hungry and you ate all of your food? That is the sum of what the SongShare family is! The community of creatives from all walks of life, stories, and backgrounds that you never knew that you needed. You will not meet a more encouraging, uplifting, and kind community than the ones you will meet at an eXperience! You may walk in a stranger, but you will absolutely leave as family! Just come and see for yourself!"
LeBron Arnwine (Georgia / US)
"SongShare is a place where you can create with people from all over. During an in person eXperience, I wrote 4 songs that were outside of my typical genre. I was stretched in a way that grew me. If you want a challenge and to create dope music with friends turned family, this is where you want to be. SongShare Concerts are my fav! You get to hear future hits before anyone else!"
Rachael Kesington (London / UK)
"The home I never thought I would find.. The tribe I never knew I would need.. Joining the SongShare Community is truly an experience that words just do not do justice. You just have to experience it for yourself. We make hits, moves, and memories! If you are looking for a safe place to be creative, network, build relationships that will push and challenge you to be better, help you take the next steps in your career/passion.. All while laughing and cutting up the whole time… Welcome home!"
Natasha Brown (Georgia / US)
"I came to my first eXperience event not knowing what to expect and doubting if I had the skillset to contribute something of value. But as soon as I walked in I was greeted with warmth, love and acceptance. I appreciated how encouraging everyone was and how easy it was to express my thoughts and ideas. I’ve grown as a writer during my time with writing rounds and would recommend anyone interested in growing as a writer and being apart of a community that will support you as you embark on your songwriting journey to look no further than SongShare."
Randy Johnson (North Carolina / US)
"Not knowing anybody who was attending, I prepared myself to be nervous and alone most of the time to be honest. However, within MINUTES of walking into the house I was greeted by two people who introduced me to everybody in the room…it was so easy. From there I was subconsciously handed off to another person and when I looked lost another was quick to notice and explain what to do. Conversations were had, plans were set, numbers were exchanged, and I was Intentionally included. This was more than just a possible song writing opportunity… this was an opportunity to meet MY people, to meet face to face and formally put down roots with “like minded”creatives to grow in our gifting’s together. Plus listen to crazy good music all weekend. I’m grateful - this community is authentic and so talented!"
Krista Dantin (Georgia / US)
"So boom, you’re a songwriter and no one is taking you seriously and all your opportunities seem to have dried up. You start to wonder if you should be doing this at all, then you discover SongShare, an online community of creatives designed to encourage and cultivate the best in everyone involved. You’re skeptical because it seems too good to be true but because you believe in yourself and your passions, you give us a try. You signup for an in person eXperience and mark your calendar. As the day gets closer you begin to meet fellow participants in the group chat sharing laughs, debating the appropriate topping for grits (it’s sugar btw), connecting about loathing traffic, cold food and repeating yourself to people named Earl? (No offense if your name’s Earl.) You quickly learn that this seemingly too good to be true gang of strangers is indeed your tribe and you haven’t even touched down yet. As you’ve packed bags and traveled to Franklin, you walk in to a house full of people eager to meet you and cheer you on in your creative journey. Congratulations. You’ve made it to your first eXperience. Welcome Home."
Scott Keller (California / US)
"The best way I can describe an eXperience is truly leveling up. The way you write, network, collaborate, and grow is truly different with this community. Almost like you just found the bridge/open door to walking into the music industry. Truly life changing."
Cameron Boggs (West Virginia / US)
"From the moment I checked in the house, everyone was so welcoming and even though I was meeting some for the first time, it was like I already knew them. For the first time ever, I felt like I truly belonged and did not want the eXperience to end! I was educated, I was challenged, I was stretched, and I was able to conquer some fears. Seriously, this is the best decision any creative could make! Join in on the fun, even if you’re afraid - you will not regret it!"
