DocSong connects musicians with people to transform their personal stories into songs that build empathy, connection, and a shared sense of humanity.

Documentary Songwriting is a step-by-step method of collaborative songwriting. It allows anyone, regardless of musical ability, to transform a personal story into a powerful song.

Documentary Songwriting has been used to enhance understanding between Turkish and Greek Cypriots, to share the stories of Middle Eastern refugees, and to honor women’s #MeToo stories. Our projects have been featured on TEDx and on NPR’s Morning Edition.
