Jai Josefs welcomes you to the Jai-Jo Music web site. If you’re serious about becoming a great songwriter, you’ve come to the right place. Let renowned songwriter and songwriting coach Jai Josefs help you take your songwriting to a new level.
Songwriting is an art – but its also a craft. As songwriters we all have internal muses that inspire us with melodies and lyrics that convey feelings and stories. But professional songwriters know that inspiration is only the first step, and it takes a thorough knowledge of the craft to edit what our muses give us into a finished product that can successfully impact thousands or even millions of people.
Jai has been successfully helping songwriters take their writing to a new level for over three decades through his nationally renowned SongShop as well as his private coaching and educational CD’s. Come look inside and see how Jai can help you realize your full potential as a songwriter. To contact Jai directly about working with him, email jai@jaijomusic.com
