Ep 10: Let's Deep Dive Into What It's Like For Me to Write Songs

Send us a text How Andrea went from no background growing up in music to writing songs, recording an album, and going on tour. I'm your host and I consider myself a very creative person. I've always loved to sing and did choirs in high school along with church choirs. I did a few solos, but my confidence grew in college. Songwriting became something that I fell in love with in college after a few experiences that led up to it. After my freshman college roommate, Tracy was killed in a car accident, I became intent on carrying out her songwriting legacy. She inspired me with her love of guitar and songwriting, so I took a guitar class. That particular method of guitar playing didn't resonate well with me, so I put the guitar down for a couple of years. I picked it back up when I started a bluegrass band for a talent show and it was history from there. I bought my own guitar, wrote my first song, and now I've written over 100 songs. I went on a house concert tour with my 6 month old after producing a 7 song album. You'll hear a few of those songs on this episode. You can find my music by Googling Andrea Belita. You can find my album anywhere you listen on Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, YouTube, etc. Watch my two music videos I'm Yours and Going Dancing. I've also written a few kid's songs for The Leader in Me and Be Proactive has 145K views on YouTube with hundreds of kids across the country performing my songs for their schoolwide leadership programs.  Support the show
