THE FINAL CLEVELAND WRITES OF 2026. 🏁

We said we’d build something real for this city’s songwriters. Three events later, we mean it more than ever.

MONDAY, OCT 19, 6:00PM
Hosted by @btsoundscle 🎧

3 STEPS TO GET IN THE ROOM:

1️⃣ Sign up with a PRO - ASCAP or BMI. Yes, you need your IPI#. If you don’t have one, get it done this week.

2️⃣ Sign your Participation Agreement…Details are on the registration form.

3️⃣ Register through the link in our bio. No exceptions. Doors close after check-in…we can’t hold the room for walk-ins. Registrants only.

💪🏽 Show up ready and be on time. If you’re late, the room moves without you.

THE FORMAT:

🎤 Writing Session - Real work. Real writers. Real songs getting built.

🎤 Showcase at 9:30PM - Open to everyone. Whether you wrote in the room or just want to watch, pull up. All are welcome.

👀 And guess what…we have a special surprise for y’all this time!

This isn’t a just something fun to do. It’s a working room for people who take songwriting seriously. Producers. Melody chasers. The ones who pull over to record a hook on their phone. The ones who’ve been saying they need a room like this.

THIS IS THE ROOM. This room is where the next chapter of Cleveland’s sound gets written. Be in it.

Last one until next year. Don’t watch from the timeline.

Classical music will always have a special place in my heart! 🎼✨
This video is from a performance with The Carter-Woods Chorale. The group came about when my bestie, the great Bass Angelo Johnson, #angelothegreatbass wanted to do something special for our beloved teacher at Cleveland School of the Arts. We put together a surprise concert to show him our deep appreciation not just for being our music teacher, but for standing in the gap as a man of God who looked after us like a father.
I served as the group’s manager for this concert and beyond, and here is a clip of me singing a solo on the renowned spiritual “True Religion,” arranged by Roland Carter. 🎶
My friend Angelo still has his chorale to this day and travels all over the world with them! He alone has traveled with his amazing Bass voice and sung with the greatest artists across the globe. Please make sure to catch them in person when you can it will be a true treat and give you some real culture! 🌍✈️🎭
Singing classical music is no joke! Starting vocal lessons at CSA and continuing my journey at Morgan State under my beloved voice teacher, the incomparable Mrs. Ridgeway, gave me a profound appreciation for vocal technique. That foundation is what inspired me to become a vocal coach as well.
Stepping behind the scenes wasn’t forced, it came from a pure love for the art. In this industry, everyone wants the limelight, but not enough people want the joy of watching someone else shine because of what you taught them. Being a vocal coach and mentor is often a thankless job, but I’m built for it! 💪🏾👑
This is still Independent Artist Month, and ALL music matters! ✊🏾✨ #HappyIAM✊🏾
