How One Songwriter Shaped Modern Pop Music | Steph Jones
from The Stephan Hogan Podcast · host Stephan Hogan
Jelly Roll’s Grammy speech struck a nerve because it spoke about faith, redemption, and telling the truth about where you come from. Those same values run through the music on Beautifully Broken, the album that just won Best Contemporary Country Album.In this episode, I sit down with Steph Jones, the songwriter behind “Born Again” and “Hear Me Out” on Jelly Roll’s Grammy winning album, to talk about who she is and how that kind of honesty and conviction actually gets built long before it shows up on a Grammy stage.Steph is also a co writer on “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter and has written songs recorded by Selena Gomez, BLACKPINK, Kelsea Ballerini, Shania Twain, Little Big Town, and more.This conversation is not a recap of Jelly Roll’s speech.It is a deeper look at the inner work, faith, grief, and creative integrity that make moments like that possible.If Jelly Roll’s speech resonated with you, this episode will too.Connect with us:https://www.tiktok.com/@stephanhoganhttps://www.instagram.com/stephanhoganhttps://www.facebook.com/stephanhoganEmail: [email protected] in Nashville, TNProduced: Stephan HoganMavericks Media Co.
