We'll be talking with Jeff Cohen about his experience as a songwriter for music, film/TV and producing artists in multiple genres. We will finish out with a Q&A with the audience, so be sure to tune in and comment with any questions you have for Jeff! Follow NSAI on Facebook and Periscope (@NSAIOfficial).

"I don’t know why a new writer wouldn’t do Song Camp. It was my first step into the Nashville community. You learn from incredible pro writers, you meet other people on the same journey, and you get real feedback on what you’re doing. It serves as an orientation toward life as a writer. Honestly, it's such a rare opportunity to have this many pro’s available to speak, teach, and give feedback so freely. It jumpstarted my writing. I was from out of town and it really provided a glimpse into my future that couldn’t have happened any other way.
