Writing Sessions America (WSA) is a family-driven organization dedicated to empowering singers, songwriters, producers, and engineers as they collectively master the path of "Indi-preneurs." More than refining musical skills, WSA guides members in applying practical business tools to transform their craft into thriving enterprises. Championing the motto, “We are better together!” Kevin Shine reminds members: “You do the work to be competitive, and you will get the perks—opportunities to shine.”
WSA views collaboration and teamwork as the keys to lasting success. Through purposeful education, professional mentorship, and access to opportunities in recording arts, sync licensing, gaming, and advertising, WSA equips creatives with the knowledge and industry connections essential for success in today’s dynamic music landscape.
