Top UK Producer to Head up Temecula Songwriting Workshop for All Ages

TEMECULA, Calif. - July 25, 2017 - PRLog -- Songwriters Workshops is pleased to provide an opportunity to the local community in the first of a series designed to help budding songwriters find their voice, learn and hone their craft, collaborate with others, and gain insight into the music business.

The weekend workshop (Saturday August 19th and Sunday August 20th 2017) will begin with a comprehensive presentation exploring the entire songwriting process including everything from initial ideas to publishing, with emphasis on melody, lyrics, originality and commercial appeal. Creative collaboration between attendees will be overseen by industry professionals on-hand to offer advice and suggestions.

Winner of the 2014 Los Angeles Music Awards' Hot Adult Contemporary Album of the Year, Joanna Pearl has teamed up with Songwriters Workshops in the hope of finding new talent and material for possible inclusion on her forthcoming album. In addition to being a sponsor of the workshop through her publishing company, NACRE Publishing, LLC, Miss Pearl will also be on hand all weekend to provide mentorship and support.

The Keynote speaker is British born composer, producer and songwriter Gary Johnson. With over 25 years in the music industry, he is no stranger to success. His portfolio includes collaborations with well-known artists and major labels as one of the UK's top pop-remix producers selling hit records across the globe. Now residing in Southern California, Gary primarily composes themes, beds and stings for TV and film, however, his true passion remains creating the hits of tomorrow, collaborating with others through co-writing and co-producing to create infectious and memorable songs with maximum commercial appeal. Johnson believes, "There's nothing more rewarding then seeing potential in others and helping them to realize it."
