Dia Morgan is a pop singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. She's originally from Chicago, Illinois. I’ve wanted to have her on my podcast for quite sometime, and we finally made it happen. She’s worked with Judy Stakee, who was a previous guest on the show, and a number of other rising artists and songwriters in the Los Angeles pop music scene. Dia and I talk about a myriad of topics, including the songwriting process, ADD and mental health, and what makes a good song. It’s not too often that I become incredibly inspired, and I find it hard to maintain that inspiration. Songwriters like Dia have a special gift that allows them to turn that inspiration and story into a song, which is so amazing to me. She breaks down that process and how she maintains her inspiration through life moments and stories.  -- Links to things mentioned:  “Rain in Malibu”: https://open.spotify.com/track/4PVRTZmgWS2B8WqOiAftFJ?si=zWQfXc6ERUGQmbpaYdmTrw Judy Stakee’s episode: https://whenlifehandsyoulennons.simplecast.com/episodes/024-judy-stakee Judy Stakee: https://judystakee.com/ Your song needs a story, not just a title: https://www.lennoncihak.com/music-needs-a-story/ And the Writer Is…: http://www.andthewriteris.com/ Full Sail University: https://www.fullsail.edu/ Sheryl Crow: https://sherylcrow.com/ Gavin Degraw: http://gavindegrawtour.rtouring.com/ SoundCloud: https://www.soundcloud.com/ DISCO: https://www.disco.ac/ Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/ -- Quick links:  3:16 - About Dia Morgan 4:16 - How Dia got into singing and songwriting 4:46 - What opportunities did you have in school that solidified you wanted to be a singer-songwriter?

New York City to Nashville, and all the highways, bi-ways, and dirt roads in between live and breathe in Jenna Torres’ songs of hope, heartache, and a life well worn. A country-rock siren, who has won acclaim as a recording artist and songwriter, Jenna finds no shortage of inspiration when it comes to matters of the heart. She has a way of distilling her experiences into heartfelt songs of love and loss whether drawing from personal experience or stories of those she meets along her way. Jenna Torres has enjoyed a successful career writing songs for Warner Music Group and Warner/Chappell Music. Legendary music executive Judy Stakee signed Jenna to Warner/Chappell Music. Noteworthy artists have cut songs from Jenna’s pen including singing sensation Martha Wash (from the Weather Girls) for whom Jenna wrote the anthem “Proud”. Jenna co-wrote the moving cry for spiritual connection “Busted Heart” with Ben Glover charting in the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian Hot 100, AC, and CHR charts for the group For King & Country. As Jenna says, “One of the greatest things about being a songwriter is that the more living and loving you do, the more songs you have to write and sing…this record is a celebration of my life in song. It is such a thrill to share my songs with you, it's a dream come true.” On Jenna Torres’s forthcoming album Wild Sugar, she continues to tell her heartfelt yet driving stories of loving and letting go. The video for the title track was shot in the beautiful town of Dahlonega, GA and co-stars Richard Turner of southern rock and country band Blackberry Smoke.
