From Thoughts to Lyrics

Rap & R&B Writing Session with Mary Jane

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

 6:00–8:00 p.m.

What's happening on your mind right now?
An idea, a feeling, a memory, a phrase that keeps popping up?

This Rap & R&B Writing Session is all about starting right there—turning thoughts into words, and words into perhaps your first set of lyrics.

Together, we’ll explore how personal experiences, feelings, and observations can become lines, hooks, and song ideas. We’ll play with language, rhythm, rhymes, and different perspectives, and see what happens when we simply give our thoughts space and time.

Rap and R&B can be loud or soft, vulnerable or confident, playful or serious. There’s no “right” way to tell a story.

Your perspective, your expression, your sound.

I’ll share insights into my own creative process, as well as tools and inspiration from my work with rap and R&B. The focus isn’t on perfection, but on experimenting, writing, discarding, starting over, finding a good line, and seeing where it leads.

You don’t need any prior experience, and you don’t have to bring a finished lyric with you. Maybe you already have something in mind; maybe you’ll start with a blank page.

Thoughts. Feelings. Stories. Inspiration. Energy.

I’m looking forward to seeing you all! Bring yourselves—and whatever thoughts and feelings you’re carrying with you right now.
