We are all songwriters: the power of your story | Keith Ayling | TEDxLeamingtonSpa

Have you ever wanted a more effective way to tell your story? Songwriter, Keith Ayling explains how he was given the gift of songwriting and then had it taken away. But through a desire to help others tell their story, he created a method that everyone can easily learn. Compelling and humourous, he demonstrates with a live audience how to write a song in a matter of minutes and then performs it, proving that we are all songwriters with a story to tell. An award-winning singer-songwriter, performer and one of the most in-demand speakers on songwriting in the UK, Keith has been described as tenacious, eclectic and ‘something of a polymath’ (Fatea Magazine, 2015). Boasting a career in music that spans over three decades, he has also worked on projects in the arts, music education and media and has released 14 albums and performed across Europe, India and Canada, as well as gaining a Masters Degree in songwriting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
