How a 15 year old (Rachel) writes her songs...

Me and my harmony singer Katie

I believe my total purpose in being able to write music and lyrics is God, all the way. Theres no way in myself i could come up with the 20 + songs ive written in 2 years. No way i could learn to write music after only playing 1 year without Him being the total reason. No way at 15 i almost have enough songs to make 2 albums.
I get my ideas from The Bible, the beauty of creation, and from what God trys to teach me. I write at least once every 2 weeks, but sometimes reaching 5 songs a week. This week has been one of those weeks. :)
I think what makes my songs unique is that it truly comes from my heart to God. One of the purest ways i believe to worship God is through song.
My only tip would be not to try too hard. Let it come to you and it will be millions of times better.
Well, im not exactly what you would call successful yet, i know thats what God has called for me to do, and i will be making a demo in the upcoming months
