Working with Drew Lawrence has been a complete surprise. Songwriting was never an ambition of mine, but with his great talent and encouragement I have taped into a creative vein I didn’t know existed. The depth of his skill is fantastic! He has an easy method of creating songs so that anyone can do this. Within a couple of sessions, you actually have written a song and have more ideas happening. He is brilliant to work with, and I can’t wait for the next time!

"Working with Drew Lawrence has completely changed my career. He started teaching me piano two years ago and gave me the confidence and skills to perform live. Before I started writing with him and getting advice on material, I had never written a song in full. Now, I have an EP coming out this month and many more songs on the way. I feel confident enough as a writer to reach out to other artists and writers to collaborate, and I feel confident as a performer and musician to know that the skills I learned with Drew will help take me further in my career."

"Chen Neeman is professional, patient, kind, collaborative and just plain excellent at what he does. Not only did he write some of my favorite songs for my series, Hannah Montana, he also coached my son as he developed his songwriting and performance skills, and continues to be one of his closest mentors. That is testimony to the fact that once Chen takes you on and believes in you, you will continue to have the gift of his friendship, advice, loyalty and guidance long after his formal training is over. I wholeheartedly recommend him."

“I met Chen while working on a project with a television show runner. My daughter is a singer/songwriter, and working on a project with Chen was easy and enjoyable. Chen communicates well with students and their parents, and he teaches in a way that others can understand. In the studio Chen has an ear for what sounds great. If something needs tweaking, he makes it a teachable moment. Our final project was professional and I couldn’t have asked for better quality. Months later, I needed some assistance and opinions regarding the music industry. Chen was so personable and helpful. This was not anything that Chen benefitted from but he jumped on my request and had all the answers I needed. I have been working with music industry people now for many years. Rarely do I meet someone like Chen who is truly interested in people as well as making the best product possible.”

"Working with Chen has been the best investment of my career. I’ve worked with other songwriting mentors in the past and none has matched Chen’s level of instruction. He creates a safe space to show your flaws as a writer and turn them into strengths. His goal is to help you achieve yours, and it shows through his passion for teaching. I highly recommend working with Chen to anyone that wants to grow in their craft."

"Whenever I have questions regarding my music, Chen always has the answers that guide me towards success and satisfaction with my work. With his keen professional insight, he knows exactly how to help his students achieve their musical goals, no matter how big or small. I always enjoy our meetings over FaceTime, and with his help, my songwriting skills have improved tremendously after just a few months. I would highly recommend him to anyone who's serious about their music and improving their craft!"
