14 years ago, I started my very first song diary. I had no idea it would become such an important, healing & transformative thing in my life. I just knew, at the time, I was on the edge - I was grieving, depressed and needed something to change - fast. I needed to find a way to release the heavy emotions inside me. I was working in Berlin as an opera singer but I needed to try something that had more individual creative expression. I started writing songs and making little music videos to go with them and then sending the videos to my family back in the United States. There's definitely a lot more to the story but fast forward a year (and 400 more songs and music videos later!) I ended up discovering something that gave me more joy than I had ever experienced before! ...
And I realized I was in the wrong career! So I started a band, moved to California, ended up recording and releasing my first albums and eventually ended up doing TWO MORE, YEAR-LONG, DAILY SONG DIARIES because the process of daily creativity gives me so much life and inspiration!
Since then I've released 4 albums, I've gotten to record with Grammy award winning producers like Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Switchfoot) Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor), Pete Min (Feist) and have received favorable reviews from The New York Times and Musikfonds, Deutschland.
I want everyone to experience the incredible joy, discovery and healing that comes from daily, spontaneous creativity! And I hope you will join me for this year's Spring Songwriting challenge!

JennyRebecca
What People Are Saying About Songwriting Challenges at Artists Rising Co.
SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SONGWRITING CHALLENGES WITH ARTISTS RISING CO.
"I was on the verge of giving up music before this challenge. Burnout, self-doubt, and fear had taken over. But from the moment I joined, I felt like I belonged. JennyRebecca’s coaching is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced—gentle but powerful, encouraging but transformative. She helped me rewrite the stories I was telling myself about my creativity and gave me permission to create freely, without judgment. By the end of the challenge, I wasn’t just writing again—I was remembering WHY I write in the first place. This experience changed me, and I’ll carry it forever."
"I’ve always been the kind of songwriter who overthinks everything. I get stuck trying to make every lyric ‘perfect’ before I even finish a first draft. This challenge? It rewired my entire process. The daily prompts forced me to stop overanalyzing and just create. JR’s feedback was invaluable—she has an incredible way of meeting you where you are and giving just the right push to get you to the next level. I’m walking away with not only a stack of new songs but also a healthier, more confident approach to songwriting. I would recommend this to ANY artist who wants to break through creative blocks and find real artistic freedom."
"This challenge was exactly what I needed to push me beyond my limits. I’ve always been disciplined, but I was stuck in my head, second-guessing my ideas. JennyRebecca’s coaching gave me the exact structure and accountability I needed to break through my creative blocks. By the end of the challenge, I had more songs written in one month than I had in the last year—and I’m walking away with a whole new level of confidence in my songwriting. If you're serious about leveling up your artistry, this challenge will change everything for you."
"This challenge was nothing short of MAGIC. Every day, I woke up excited to create, knowing I was surrounded by an incredible group of songwriters all cheering each other on. JR creates a space that is safe, inspiring, and bursting with creative energy. The daily prompts made songwriting feel like pure play again—no pressure, just joy. I rediscovered my love for writing, built real friendships, and even performed at the final showcase, which I NEVER thought I’d do! If you want to fall back in love with your creativity, THIS. IS. IT."
In Phase One, you will be guided through the writing process to know how to create, refine and choose the best song(s) to release next so you know that your next release is something you can be proud of! You will also be given immediate strategy and systems to begin to cultivate your audience and platform, so that when release day comes, you have a solid core community that is excited to cheer you on!
In Phase Three, you will learn how to create a killer release/launch strategy, not only for your music but for any product you create in the future. You will learn how to systematically build your brand and platform along the way so that when it comes time to "rinse and repeat" (do this whole process again of write + record + release + promote) you will know exactly what you are doing & you will have an ever increasing number of people who will celebrate you and your music.
EACH PHASE IS ESPECIALLY TAILORED TO THE NEEDS AND DESIRES
OF THE SPECIFIC GROUP OF ARTISTS IN THE STUDIO...
It includes TWO hours of group coaching per week and One hour of private coaching per month.
Why waste all this time creating songs if you don't have a music video to go along with it?! In this masterclass, I will give you 10 different strategies you can use to create your own music videos!
I have created two international tours on my own. Both were successful and financially lucrative. You will learn how to create your own tour (either in person OR virtually) in any cities you'd like to visit, so you can start to grow your audience organically in this way, and share your music with more people.
Crowdfunding can seem overwhelming but sometimes it can be the best strategy to launch an album! I've successfully completed two Kickstarter campaigns, totaling almost $30,000, as well as my own Patreon community. In this masterclass, you will learn how it's possible to engage with your community even more and build momentum before a launch or how to fund new projects using crowdfunding.
Learning how to hear which instruments a track needs in the arrangement is a skill that is important to develop. In this masterclass, you will learn basic music theory tools for harmonic progressions and instrumentation so you can record your songs with more depth and color.
Did you know that if you have 1000 fans who buy $100 worth of product from you a year, you would be making 6 figures? Whatever your monetary goals, there are multiple ways to create sustainable revenue from your music. This masterclass is all about creating merch and products related to your music, as well as 15 different additional income streams available to you as an independent artist.
Becoming a successful musician is a mental and emotional resilience game. These masterclasses will be an invaluable introduction to help further your awareness in what you are thinking and how your thoughts directly effect your results. When you see how fast things can change when you adjust your thoughts and start building new beliefs and neural pathways, you’ll be wishing you did it yesterday.

One of the worst feelings is working so hard to create and release a single that no one seems to notice...Or maybe you’ve already taken some steps to start building your platform and community, but you’re still not seeing real growth?
Maybe you’re sick of looking at your journal full of unfinished songs, or watching other artists online, and wondering...Why not me?!

“Working with JennyRebecca made me so alive and it changed everything. It just made me feel super hopeful, super encouraged, and it actually gave me faith that it could happen for me. It gave me a huge boost because before, writing just 1 song a year was like a dream to me. I'd written a few songs, a lot of half written songs, but she really showed me that I can do more than I think, I can create more than I think, and the moment I step into creativity, instead of the source running out, it actually is exploding! JennyRebecca is the real deal! She approaches becoming an artist from all angles and empowers you with wisdom and knowledge. What makes this course so effective is that everything she teaches is coming from a place of her own experience. She is so excellent as a songwriter, singer and a teacher. She challenges you and has tons of grace. I would highly recommend this masterclass to any singer-songwriter!
Rose just released her first single in 2021!

"Before working with JennyRebecca, I felt constantly discouraged to pursue my dream and pursue my music. I always felt like I was hitting these obstacles, like I was getting nowhere. She gave me so many tools to do the inside work and to keep encouraging myself daily." Cristina released her first single September 30, 2021!
Cristina Alice
"I've worked with JR for the last 6 years and basically sign up for everything she is offering, whether it's the Collective, private coaching, or Songwriters Studio because she has helped me believe I am an artist and know that my art is valuable. She's helped me learn to connect with the childlike wonder of creating (and not get bogged down by the production aspect of it).
She's helped me know my WHY and become comfortable with leaning into the uncomfortable emotions that creativity brings to the surface and she's always encouraging me to continue creating and be true to myself. The group aspect and accountability of the Songwriters Studio was also just pure magic and intimate, and that family feeling really made us all feel so valued and propelled us so much higher than I ever thought possible." - Makayla released her first single in 2021
Makayla King
"JennyRebecca is so positive and encouraging, and it really made me realize my own resistance in ways I hadn't been willing to see before. She would say "You can do this!" and I would find myself saying back, "No, I could never do that, etc." but then I would marinate on that during the week and start to really ask myself why I was thinking those kinds of thoughts and reexamining. Before this course I wouldn't have even considered breaking through that resistance, or even knowing it was there. And I now have faith in my ability to record and put out a song, to play with EQ. I can play the piano into Midi, I can fix it, I can change notes, I can tune myself, do the compression and reverb. I definitely did things that were scary in a good way during this class! I tried things I wouldn't have allowed myself to try on my own, because it would have been messy...and that's the point! There was so much safety in the group and the accountability and deadlines helped me get consistent and realize that the consistency doesn't have to be perfect and that is how we really make progress." -Stevi M has released 6 amazing singles!

"The Songwriter’s Studio was a fantastic program and participating in it was the highlight of my year! The community and connection that JR facilitates, and cultivates, provide a safe and encouraging space to learn, grow, and create. Her instruction and feedback throughout the program were tremendously helpful and came from her genuine care and interest in my creative work. During the first month of the program, I wrote a song that has become one of my favorites! I enjoyed being part of a group with other creatives, celebrating our progress, encouraging each other to keep going in spite of challenges, and working together to see our songs come to life." -Melinda's first single is due to come out this November!
Melinda Deveney
"JR’s Songwriter’s Studio has provided me with a subtle, yet amazing, midlife transformation! Songwriting is new to me this year yet through this course JennyRebecca has provided heartfelt support and encouragement, nurtured self exploration into areas I hadn’t given much thought to before, taught basic recording skills and provided a wonderful group space to share with other beautiful souls who’ve I’ve grown to love. In this space I tried to rise to every challenge given and therefore gained a fair bit of confidence over time in my songwriting skills. I transformed from a perspective of simple interest; of unworthiness to really take myself seriously in my creative potential as a singer-songwriter, to discovering that this is now a passionate part of my life from now on. I would encourage anyone who feels even a quiet, creative songwriting flame inside to take this course and see what happens!"
Andrea Anscombe
"I am super happy to be a part of the Songwriter Studio. JR is an incredibly insightful and profound soul. Working with her has brought me a lot closer to my dream, but more importantly, to myself. I definitely want to continue working with her and can only recommend it to you as well!"
