Songwriting is an often underappreciated talent in the world of great music. Singers and musicians are celebrated for the emotion they capture in their performances, but songwriters can sometimes appear to be at the bottom of the music world's hierarchy. That is why we are so grateful to have Dove Award Winning Songwriter Sue C. Smith on today's episode of the Music for the Soul Podcast. Sue shares with us her journey into songwriting, growing up with a father who led music at his church despite no formal background in music. From there, she began writing songs and getting connected in the world of Christian Music. Since then she has written over 20 #1 songs and had her works cut by countless top artists. Sue talks about the importance of connection, communication and recognition in songwriting, and how she used those elements to create The Write About Jesus Conference in 2000. She explains the importance of having a conference that welcomes writers of all levels, both those that are award winning and those that are just starting, into a place where they can talk, eat and pray as one community.
