Hey Reader,

When Matthew Jenkins joined his first Songwriting Sprint, he was already a musician with decades of experience.

As a bass player, he’d spent years supporting other people’s bands—always the one holding down the low end, but never sharing his own songs.

Meanwhile, his notebooks were overflowing. Pages of ideas. Half-finished lyrics. Fragments of riffs. All of it adding up to… nothing finished.

That changed when Matthew found HTWS on YouTube. For the first time, he saw a roadmap for actually finishing songs.

Matt decided to join one of our 8-week Songwriting Sprints. Fast forward through his first 2 Sprints—and Matthew had written 7 original songs.

“I no longer seek encouragement from friends because I know what I’m capable of. I can see where my songs need improvement, and I have the skills to improve them. I no longer need permission to write.”

But the songs weren’t the only thing he gained. He also found connection.

During one Sprint, he met Tom—another songwriter living in the same state. The two bonded over guitar pedals and 90s bands, started swapping demos, and still text each other song ideas today.

And that’s the real secret.

The Sprint works because it combines accountability, process, and community—the three things that keep you actually writing. We know from talking to thousands of songwriters that at some point, you don’t need another YouTube tutorial or songwriting hack.

You need a reason to write.

You need people who are expecting to hear from you. You need a structure that doesn’t just inspire you for an afternoon, but carries you all the way to a finished song.

That’s what Matthew found. That’s what every Sprint is built to give you.

The next 8-Week Songwriting Sprint is open for registration now.
