What does it really take to grow as a Christian songwriter, especially when you do not live in Nashville or have established industry connections?

In this episode of the Christian Artist Mentorship Podcast, Wisdom Moon sits down with songwriter and Full Circle Music Academy Director Maggie Youngs to discuss songwriting, collaboration, community, and trusting God with an unconventional career path.

Maggie shares how songwriting began as a personal way to process anxiety and pray through difficult questions. She also explains how an unexpected internship at Full Circle eventually developed into a leadership role she never could have planned for herself.

Wisdom and Maggie unpack what actually happens during a Nashville co-write, how songwriters should approach ownership splits, and why serving the artist’s vision should remain the North Star of the writing process.

They also discuss whether every artist should write their own songs, the proper role of artificial intelligence in songwriting, and why strong relationships often matter just as much as strong creative ability.

Maggie also explains how Full Circle Music Academy helps independent artists, songwriters, and producers access industry education, meaningful collaboration, professional feedback, and a community of creatives who can grow together.

Maggie Youngs is the Academy Director at Full Circle Music. Using her unique background in ministry, business, and songwriting, she works to build events, resources and opportunities that help creatives take real steps toward their careers and callings.
