Co-write with Martin?

Knowing the world through songwriting

I co-write songs with people from their experiences and concerns, such as living with the effects of climate change or living under unpredictable or precarious social conditions, including the fall out of novel pandemics. I work with all nationalities. The context of my current work is the climate and bio-diversity crises, and I have done work in and around Cape Town, South Africa – a climate change hotspot, while I also worked with people in Denmark around their experiences of living with Covid-19.

If you are concerned with climate change, the threat of pandemics, or other conditions around your immediate social or wider environment, and would like to share the story, I would like to try to write with you

No music skills or prior songwriting knowledge is necessary

It is not about writing the “best” or “prettiest” song but rather about letting one’s story be told in this way. Songwriting has been with us for millenia and has a unique way of communicating. You may be surprised how seamlessly a conversation often can move into songwriting.
