About Us
Who We Are, and What We Do.
Our unique, musical team building programs focus on the challenges facing your organization, or industry. Whether you’re seeking a breakout for 10 people, or an interactive keynote for 800, We’ll write a song together reinforcing your teams’ mission, or conference theme. We’ll collaborate on this song just as it’s done in Nashville, New York or LA. The narrative this song will tell is up to you, and your audience. Your facilitators are Award-Winning Hit Songwriters whose songs have been recorded by the Josh Groban, Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Jaci Valesquez, Shania Twain, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton and many more.
Listen, We truly focus on your pain points. Our Nashville-style, musical team building programs are tailored to best fit your needs and goals. All the programs focus on collaboration, creativity, problem solving, communication, innovation, and bringing ideas to life. They are fast-paced, disruptive and highly interactive. At the end of the day, a grand performance will occur of this new creation, with members of your audience as key participants! (No musical ability required).

Jeff’s process was fast-paced, fun and educational. It was highly interactive and it most certainly brought out the creative spirit in everyone.
