A Message from Mike Meiers
I believe every songwriter has something powerful to say, sometimes, they just need the right tools to say it. I’m Mike Meiers, a Nashville-based Emmy Award-winning composer, producer, and songwriter who’s built a career creating guitar-driven music for TV and film, with songs featured on NBC, Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Target, and more. But what drives me most isn’t just seeing my own songs on screen, it’s watching other writers step into their potential.
Since founding Songwriting for Guitar, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of songwriters and guitarists find their sound, write songs that connect, and rediscover their confidence. Seeing someone go from uncertain to unstoppable, hearing their songs evolve and watching them light up when they get it, that’s what keeps me doing this every day. Whether your dream is to write for sync, release your own music, or finally sound the way you’ve always imagined, my goal is simple: to help you bridge the gap between where you are and the songwriter you’re meant to be.
