Stephanie Joyce, guitar + songwriting

Online

Stefanie Joyce is a singer-songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee. With four years of experience as a signed writer on MusicRow, she is excited to teach and encourage the craft and art of songwriting. 

Whether you are writing songs for a personal project, for other artists, for fun, or for film and TV placement, Stefanie has experienced it all! She believes that all great songs, regardless of genre, need a strong foundation. Her lessons start with basics of form, rhyme, rhythm, lyric, hook, and melody before moving onto writing and workshopping full songs. She wants to give students the tools they need to best capture inspiration when it comes, and always encourages creative risks.

Stefanie grew up in the Pacific Northwest and moved to Nashville in 2018. After four years of penning songs for other artists (such as Mary-Heather Hickman's viral, billboard-charting hits "Baptist Parking Lot" and "Treasure"), she released her debut EP "Marlboro Reds & Motel Rooms" in 2022. The lead single "Idle Hands" was featured on editorial playlists and publications after amassing almost 1 million views on TikTok. Stefanie continues to write for other artists while working on new music for her own project and regularly performing with her band around Nashville. 

Stefanie encourages all songwriters regardless of musical ability. You don't need to be an amazing singer to write amazing songs! All you need is enthusiasm and a bit of creativity :)
