About Silvia
"Working musicians often describe that initial burst of inspiration as the smell of fresh ink on a page before the melody even settles. I spent 6 years refining this process while coaching 88 students through the highs and lows of the creative journey.
My BMus Songwriting degree from Leeds Conservatoire provides the technical framework for the messy reality of finishing a track. Many career switchers and beginners come to me because they have great ideas that simply stop halfway through the song.
I focus on the practical application of song structure and point of view to ensure your message hits home every time. My own career in music has taught me that the best songs are built on a solid foundation of genre conventions and tight hooks. I find immense satisfaction in helping others navigate the complex terrain of modern songwriting. Watching a student gain clarity on their creative path is the best part of my day."

"You will find that finishing songs is actually more about subtraction than addition. Most songwriters fail because they try to force too many competing ideas into one short arrangement. We start by bringing your rough concept to the table so we can build a clean, compelling demo together. I use my 6 years of experience to help you navigate title development, top-line melodies, and the specific demands of your chosen genre.
We keep the pacing fast to ensure your momentum remains high. Write.
Listen. Edit. That is the cycle. You learn by doing.
We look at your lyrics and structure to identify the exact moment a listener might lose interest. It is a thrill to witness a song evolve from a rough sketch into a polished final product. You will walk away from every meeting with a tangible piece of work to show for your effort."
