Maison is a pilot project, led by singer songwriter Ryan Jones, that teaches songwriting skills and provides a platform for new artists within the Southwest. The project has a particular focus upon the relationship between lyric and melody and how songs can help to provide empathy between writer, performer and listener, with a particular focus on song writing as a release from situations of high anxiety or poor mental health.
Ryan plans to develop a platform for writers and artists to collaborate and helping writers to receive royalties for their work without having to pay to join a collections agency.
The planned legacy will be to create a body of written and recorded work and to deliver an online platform of “master tapes” detailing good working practices in writing, recording and releasing music.
