Show Notes


Meet J.T. Harding--the award-winning songwriter of several country hits including Keith Urban's "Somewhere in My Car," Uncle Kracker's "Smile," Kenny Chesney's "Somewhere With You," Blake Shelton's "Sangria" and many more. His songs have had ONE BILLION Spotify streams to date. I've loved his songs for years and didn't even know he wrote all of them. In fact, I put together a Spotify play list of 13 of his songs and love it.  Here it is! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YxNgYXdPNNf9waUZ4Tp76

J.T. Harding writes about his pivotal life story and his long climb to success in his new book "Party Like a Rockstar."  It's a MUST READ because it's funny and entertaining, but most of all inspiring.  In this podcast, JT shares his stories and perspective on what it takes to reach our dreams. He'll make you laugh, and you'll want to take notes.

J.T. Harding was born and raised in South Detroit. While other kids were on the baseball field, J.T. was in his basement jumping around to MTV and trying to write his own songs. He put together several bands in high school and then moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream. J.T. made his first demo tape with prize money he earned by winning the VH1 game show Rock & Roll Jeopardy! He has since written several chart-topping hits, including “Smile” with Uncle Kracker, “Somewhere in My Car” with Keith Urban, “Somewhere with You” and “Bar at the End of the World” for Kenny Chesney, Dierks Bentley’s “Different for Girls,” Jake Owen’s “Alone with You,” and Blake Shelton’s number-one song “Sangria.” His memoir/how-to book, Party Like a Rockstar, released in February 2022 and quickly reached number one on Amazon in the songwriting category. He lives in Nashville and continues to churn out the hits by the light of his vintage KISS pinball machine.
