What this is
Shaped by the people inside it
Song House is a community built in Nashville and shaped by the people inside it. Join with us, tell the truth, and help us decide what this place becomes.
- Every dayA room full of artists and creatives who get itPeople who understand why art exists in the first place. They’re not chasing viral content. They’re chasing true content. These are the people you walk the journey with, because they’re walking it too.
- Every weekWe build it togetherTell us what the house needs and help test the new rooms. Right now that’s Song House Live, the online writing room we’re building with members.
- AlwaysStay challengedThere is always a writing prompt on the table. Write it, post it, and let the room answer.
Do that for a year and you stop waiting to be picked.

Song House grew my songwriting from a beginner to leading writing rooms at a professional level. It's the best parts of the Nashville creative scene: high level and hospitable.

I was about to go to college for a degree I didn't want, to get a job I didn't want... Song House changed the direction of my life.

Every quote here is from a member, in their own words.
Everybody who walks in thinks they might be the only one here who isn't good enough. Then they write. Here is what happens after.

The honest part: none of this is promised, and there is no ladder with your name on it. These rooms open up over time, for people who keep showing up and keep doing the work. Start online. See where it goes.
Who is behind this
Tyler Ward
Hey friend,
Can I tell you a secret? I felt like a fraud for years. I was a kid in my parents’ basement in Colorado with a guitar and a mission to make music for a living. Every day a voice told me I had no business trying. The plan was to be a teacher. I was already in school for it. But I chose music anyway. Not because I was brave. Because I had to.
So if you’ve ever said I have to do this, I know you. I’ve been you.
Nobody was coming to discover me. There was no magic moment. I just kept showing up, one ordinary day after another. Those ordinary days turned into five worldwide headlining tours, opening for Switchfoot and The Fray, and songs with Jason Derulo and Earth, Wind & Fire. Then came the thing I thought would save me: a major label deal. I signed. Two years later, I willingly walked away.
But the thing I needed most was never a record deal. It was never the recognition. It was a room where people were willing to tell the truth, where creatives were free to fully be themselves, where nobody had to chase this dream alone. I couldn’t find that room, so we built it. That’s Song House.
You’re not a fraud. You’re just built for this.
We’re still building it, with every person who walks in. Come help me build the house.

Come help build the house. Your Song House profile and your Creative Enneagram start the moment you walk in, and the room of artists is waiting behind them.
Daily artist community · A weekly writing prompt · Cowrites and honest feedback · A say in what gets built
With your account
What kind of artist are you?
Part one of your Artist DNA is our first look at how you are wired as a creative: how you write, how you take feedback, and what stalls you. How are you creatively wired? This test was designed just like the Enneagram. A few honest minutes, and your result lands in your inbox. It is the first thing we would do together anyway.
On iPhone and iPad
Carry the house
The Song House app puts the whole room in your pocket: the community feed, the Academy, the calendar of live calls, the member map, and every conversation you are already in. Members sign in with the same account. Membership stays at songhouse.com.
Before you decide
Straight answers
How much time does this take?
As much as you give it. The room is open every day and nothing expires, so people who can only show up twice a week still get somewhere. The weekly writing prompt fits around a job.
What if I am not good yet?
Then you are exactly who this is built for. Nobody walks in finished. Most people arrive convinced they are the only one in here who is not good enough, and then they write, and they find out everybody thought that.
What kind of feedback do I actually get?
Honest. Dishonesty does no service to anybody. It will come in the form of love and kindness, and nobody here pretends to have all the answers either.
What if I cannot make the live call?
The feed and the weekly writing prompt are there whenever you are, so nobody falls behind for having a job. Live nights land on your calendar tab, and you can always drop your question in the feed ahead of time.
Is this in person or online?
Both. This is the online community, the place you keep your season moving when you are not in a room with people doing what you are doing. Camps are the in person side, and you are always welcome there. And if you get called up to join a session at Song House, we will let you know.
Will Song House make me successful?
No, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Song House will not save you. What we can promise is that if you stick with it, you will become a better artist. That one we can actually promise. You are responsible for what you do with what you learn here and the relationships you build here. There is no shortcut. Tyler checked.
Will I be part of the Song House team?
Maybe, and nobody is going to dangle it to keep you here. Nobody is owed a call up. Show up consistently, write great songs, tell true stories, and you get flagged as somebody to watch. If you are ever invited to something in Nashville it is because we saw something exceptional in you, and that does not disqualify anybody else in this space. Spots are earned, never owed. Right now everybody here is standing on the same line. Do not worry about being chosen. Worry about being consistent and being true. The rest takes care of itself.
