“Confessions Of A Serial Songwriter” is about my journey, from a young girl falling under the spell of magical songs to writing hits of my own. It’s about growing up, the creative process, the highs and the lows, the conflicts that arise between motherhood and career success, the divas the egos and the back stabbers, but also the lovely people I’ve found along the way. It’s about the challenge of getting older and staying relevant in a rapidly changing and youth driven world.
