Episode 49 – Develop Your Craft with Marti Dodson

Marti Dodson was a member of the band Saving Jane who eventually transitioned to the role of being a songwriter. She talks about her writing process and what it was like to begin writing full time after touring as an artist for so long. Marti also touches on being a female in the music industry, what that has entailed for her, and how she thinks that actually affects women going into this career field. She shares some insight on writing for an artist, having a song on hold, ultimately getting a song cut (most recently by artists like Luke Bryan and Thompson Square to name a couple), and some examples of what that process has looked like for her. Marti also teaches songwriting, so listen in to this episode of the Full Circle Music show to hear some of her tips on developing your craft.
