Making it in the music industry takes grit and a lot of patience, but also sound financial advice. Laura Veltz is a 4x GRAMMY-nominated songwriter and has teamed up with Tracy Hackney, a seasoned financial advisor for musicians, to bring you the tips and tricks of the industry. Joined by host and producer, Kevin Sokolnicki, the trio has interviews with some of the most prominent and up-and-coming songwriters and artists in the music industry.

Tom Douglas (“The House That Built Me” Miranda Lambert, “Meanwhile Back At Mamas” Tim McGraw, “I Run To You” Lady A) does what he does best on Songwriter Soup.

With his signature eloquence and vulnerability, the patriarch of music row explains what held him back from pursuing his natural calling until his forties.

We talk about the powerful effect of our parents voices in our heads, the role of pain as a songwriter’s most effective tool, and how many songs it takes to turn this creative pursuit into a business.
