WHAT IS

Documentary

Songwriting?

Documentary Songwriting is a unique step-by-step method of collaborative songwriting that builds connection, empathy, and a shared sense of humanity. The Documentary Songwriting Method breaks down the creative process to allow anyone, regardless of their musical background, to transform a personal story into an enduring song.

Documentary Songwriting has been used to increase understanding between Turkish and Greek Cypriots at the UN Buffer Zone on Cyprus, to tell the stories of refugees from the Middle East seeking asylum in Belgium, and to tell women’s #MeToo stories. Our projects have been featured on TEDx and on NPR’s Morning Edition.

“It was a glimpse into real human experience and emotion, unfettered by script and censorship. It was one of the precious moments in life that I truly felt I was witnessing (and a part of) something real.”
