Discover the songwriting technique used in 97% of all hit songs
How to use subtle psychological triggers to captivate any audience.
Writing pop, rock, R&B, or hip-hop has never been easier or more fun.
Master the art of writing addicting songs
Music is a tough industry to break into. With production gear being affordable for the first time in history, it seems like everyone is making music these days. Getting noticed in the continuous stream of information that is the Internet seems almost impossible.
But: There is a technique designed specifically to captivate and hook an audience and with The Addiction Formula, you can learn it in a couple of hours. You will learn all about lyric-less storytelling, a technique used by the most successful songwriters of our time. If you've always wanted to know how to write songs that stick out and speak to a large audience, this is the book for you.
The songwriting book for a new generation of songwriters
The 60s are over! Songwriting today is a very different experience than it was when the Beatles were on the air. By combining arrangement, harmony, melody, rhythm, lyrics and production in one deviously simple technique it is the first songwriting book that speaks to an all-writing, all-producing DIY generation.
Includes over 317 techniques you will be able to use instantly
Part two of The Addiction Formula is almost like a dictionary of hit songwriting techniques. All the tools are hand-picked from hit songs of the past 30 years. But this book is far more than just a list of tips and tricks: The Addiction Formula also shows you how the techniques can be applied to your songs. It puts all of what you learn into perspective and shows you how they all fit together.
With 331 examples including songs by Rihanna, Katy Perry, Drake and Maroon 5
Are you sick and tired of being taught techniques based on some old country song you've never heard of? One of my guidelines for writing this book was to only include hit songs from the past 30 years.
Every single technique in The Addiction Formula is proven with one or more examples to show it in action and to help you learn it quickly and easy. I mean, hey, you get to learn by listening to the songs you listen to anyways! It's fun, quick, and practical.

For those with a strong Psychology background, many topics, as the author rightfully states, will be refresher for you...
BUT!
For many professional musicians, without having additionally a strong psychology background, this book would be a great introduction and slap in the face to getting them out of the whole - “artists-only” style writing and their constant need to create and show “themselves”, while feeling like, for most of them, no one “gets them” - and stead, show them that perhaps the issue is not as much “others” but they are not writing in a way that keeps an audience’s attention...
In other words... maybe they are cheating music that doesn’t connect, so why not learn that... THEN get upset if once connected no one likes your message ;)
Great introduction to how to CHEAT people’s MINDS into keeping their attention for your songs ;)

I love the energy curve approach. This was eye opening to me. I’ve already started approaching my song writing with these techniques and I’m seeing a huge improvement.
There is a LOT of good tips in here. I typically take notes on books I read, but I had to stop doing that halfway because I found myself just about handwriting 90 percent of the book. It’s full of quality content with very little filler or fluff.
Game changer for me!

But I am working full-time on music writing with rockstars as well as around two dozen up and coming artists in the SF/Bay Area.
You’d think I wouldn’t need a book like this, but I’m always looking to up my production/writing skill.
This book definitely delivered, making much of what I already do systematic and efficient.
Best three hours ever. (Well nine, really. I keep listening to it over and over to damn near memorize it.)
Great stuff. I wish I had this when I was first starting out!
I’m a successful producer for Sony, and this STILL upped my game.
