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.

Imagine if you had a support system…
Imagine if you had a small, dedicated group of fellow songwriters and creatives who truly understood your journey. A space where you could openly share your wins, challenges, and ideas—knowing you’d receive encouragement, feedback, and real solutions to help you move forward.
No more second-guessing every decision. No more feeling like you’re working in isolation.
With the ASC Mastermind Group, you’ll have a structured, supportive community to keep you accountable, motivated, and consistently making progress in your creative business.
What would that kind of support mean for your songwriting career?

The ASC Mastermind Group provides regular connection with fellow creatives who are on the same journey. You’ll get honest feedback, fresh ideas, and a support system to keep you going—so you don’t have to do it all alone.

I was in a co-writing group with Mira back in 2023 as part of I Heart Songwriting Club's Co-Writing Course. The song we wrote together turned out pretty well too, I thought. I'm so glad that she has been kicking on in the songwriting space!
