Singer/Songwriter Ben Lee is currently acting as guest editor for MagnetMagazine.com. On a recent post Ben spoke about a new wave of Los Angeles songwriters, where he makes mention of and goes on to praise the likes of our very own Mozella.
Here’s what Ben had to say:
It probably sounds very “corporate” and uncool to indie-rockers around the world, but there is a great new generation of what could be called “professional songwriters” out here in LA. Their days consist of creating songwriting sessions in various combinations, going from one studio to the next, endlessly, all in the attempt to nail the next great song. It’s not uncommmon for these kinds of songwriters to write at least a song (if not two) a day, six or seven days a week. I’ve dipped my toes into that world, and learned a lot from the great writers I’ve worked with, people like Tim Myers and MoZella and lots of others who just seem to effortlessly tap into the great hook-factory in the sky. Ultimately, I’m probably a little too left-of-center to make a real “job” out of writing the way a lot of these guys have, but it’s cool to see how many people still hold the craft of songwriting in such high esteem and try to bring their A-game to it each day.
