“The seminar yesterday with Benita Hill and Steve Leslie at Indie Connect was one of the best industry events I have ever attended. I can’t believe all the great information they shared. I am already using one of the songwriting techniques they discussed. Getting to hear their insights into the music business was enlightening.  And hearing them perform a few of their own tunes was an added bonus!”  – Mike Coleman

For us “creative types”, there are more ways than ever before to share, give away, and/or sell what we do. In a universe of seemingly infinite choices, what separates the Great from the Good? The intriguing from the mundane? The unique from the same old, same old? Songwriters, artists, and educators, Benita Hill and Steve Leslie, think they’ve found the answer- Authenticity. Being authentic means being true to the only you there is! It means communicating this unique message in everything you do as an artist and entrepreneur, online and
off.

In this amazing workshop, Benita Hill and Steve Leslie shared their journeys of success (and failure), and along the way, revealed:

  • The importance of answering the hard questions about your
    career.
  • The do’s and don’ts of being a successful solo artist.
  • How to pitch songs without a publisher.
  • The secrets of effective co-writing.
  • Practical methods for achieving your Authentic Voice.
  • And more!

Jazz great, Miles Davis said, “It takes a long time to sound like yourself.” Attend this workshop and save yourself some time!
