Shane McAnally: Overnight Songwriting Success... Not Really

In this episode of the Made it in Music podcast, Full Circle’s own Seth Mosley (Grammy/Dove Award Winning Producer) sits down with Shane McAnally (Producer/Songwriter). You’ll hear stories of blood, sweat and tears and all that led to his success (that took 14 hard years of grinding it out to accomplish). 


McAnally just recently celebrated his 37th #1. He has written songs for artists Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban and Kacey Musgraves to name a few. McAnally was named Songwriter of the Year by the Academy of Country Music in 2014 and Hot Country Songwriter of the Year by Billboard in 2015. See a list of all the songs he has written and produced at the link provided in the resources section.


Shane McAnally is here to share his incredible story about how he made it in music, and he’s here to help you do the same.

Om Podcasten

Many want to "make it" in the music industry. Few successfully make it in. Even fewer stay in. The goal of this podcast is to help bring some clarity to your path towards a music career. We want to help you not only get in, but stay in. To this end, hosts Seth Mosley and X O'Connor will dig deep with luminaries of the music industry. These are people who have "made it" and today have very notable careers. Many are Grammy winners and work with prominent record labels. Some of our listeners might be on the creative side as a songwriter, artist, producer, or engineer. Others might be on the business side interested in marketing, management, A&R, or radio. The "Made It In Music Podcast" is designed to serve both sides; we are certain you will find a place in this community. How do you get a record deal, get a hit artist to cut your song, build fans, or get on tours? We tackle these questions and more. Before you know it, you will be able to say that you too have "Made It In Music!" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
