News to Encourage, Equip, and Empower
GSC Member In Need- Bruce Michael Miller
Hello GSC Family,
My longtime friend and GSC Song Evaluator/Educator, Bruce Michael Miller needs a kidney transplant. The good news is that he has a donor match. The challenge is that he will be unable to work for several months during his recovery.
I am respectfully asking his GSC Family to reach out and HELP if you can with your donations. Bruce has helped to encourage countless songwriters in his career. Now we get the opportunity to encourage him.
Many of you have already contributed through our GSC Facebook page. THANK YOU for being so generous and helping our dear friend! Fortunately, Bruce has a donor match and is ready for his procedure!

GSC MEMBER MONDAY!
CHAD HAMILTON'S
STEPS TO SIGNING SUCCESS!
GSC member, Chad Hamilton, from Kentucky, has some exciting news to share!
Song of the Year...
Earlier this year, “STIR THE SKY,” won SONG OF THE YEAR in the 20th Lehigh Valley Music Awards. He co-wrote this song with songwriter/artist Jordyn Kenzie, and the very talented, frequent FOCUS Event Pro, our very beloved Victoria Banks Petrelli. Jordyn recorded the song and released it in the summer of 2018 and the video for the song won video of the year -- she also took home three more awards at the ceremony!
Signing of Song via GSC Focus Retreat...
In June, through a FOCUS Event Sync seminar and pitch with the very kind and hardworking Nancy Peacock of Washington Street Publishing, Chad signed a sync agreement for his song, “AT YOUR OWN RISK,” also co-written with Jordyn Kenzie. This is the second song Chad has signed with Nancy.
Celebrating His Co-Writers....
As excited as Chad is for his own progress, and successes, he loves to brag about the success of his colleagues. He says, “It’s hard to explain, but seeing the smiles on my colleagues and friends as they reach milestones along their journeys following their dreams, brings me honest, sheer joy, and not an ounce of jealousy. In June, I had an acquaintance sign her first publishing deal at 20 years old, a young woman make her Opry debut, and Jordyn, one of my first and favorite cowriters, will be attending Berklee College of Music in the fall, on a full ride scholarship! It’s just so exciting to be a part of these stories, even when I’m just a butterfly flapping his wings.”
Chad...we love butterflies her at GSC! So much so that it is on our GSC logo. Keep flying and flapping! Writing and Winning!
Your GSC Family!
