Photos from Johnny Mercer Songwriters Project

Some photos from my incredible experience writing music and lyrics under the tutelage of Grammy and Emmy winners at the Johnny Mercer Songwriters Project 2016. Alums of this songwriting programme include Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Shaina Taub (Old Hats), and Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights, Hamilton).
