ASC Founder, Lisa Butler has just released a brand new e-book!

Talent gets you started, but it's direction that keeps you going. Chasing the Big Break is Lisa Butler's practical, no-nonsense guide for songwriters, musicians and performing artists still in the chase — still figuring out where to put your energy. Drawing on 30+ years in the industry, Lisa helps you get clear on where you're really starting from, name what's actually holding you back, and build a strategy that fits your life, not someone else's. With worksheets that turn insight into a real plan. Because this isn't about waiting to be discovered — it's about doing the work that makes it more likely.

AUSTRALIAN SONGWRITERS PODCAST

Latest Episode: Stephan Moccio

Naomi Crain talks to hit songwriting and producer, Stephan Moccio about songwriting, passion, talent and success.....

Over the years, Moccio has penned songs for superstars Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Avril Lavigne, Seal, James Blunt, and Ne-Yo, landing seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100 on the strength of his undeniably original and deeply resonant melodies.

What does it take to be a successful songwriter, producer or artist? Is it a 'good start' in life, talent, hard work or luck? This is one of the many questions that Naomi poses to the deeply purposeful and passionate musician, whose answers are delivered as thoughtfully and delicately as his music.

In speaking of his latest album 'Lionheart' Moccio says...“If people are going to gift me with the hour of their time that it takes to listen to this body of work, then I want to give them something valuable in return,” he says. “It needs to be something beautiful, first and foremost, but it also needs to be something that makes them feel peaceful inside. I want this music to be meditative and transformative for everyone who hears it, and to give them back the time and space that so many of us are missing today.”

This and many more special guests and conversations to come, on ASC’s freshly relaunched podcast series at Australian Songwriters Podcast on Spotify, Amazon Music and various other podcast platforms.
