Co-Writing
Bring your half-finished song.
Leave with something finished.
Professional co-writing sessions for artists and producers — remote, in-person (NZ), or async.

Live — Remote
Anywhere in the world
Video call, shared document, DAW screen if needed. Real-time ideation with the same energy as an in-room session — without the travel.
Live — In Person
New Zealand
Studio or home session. Better acoustics, easier to play ideas back, and the particular focus that comes from being in the same room as the song.
Async
On your own clock
Exchange voice notes, stems, and rough demos. Each pass builds on the last. No live session required — suits different time zones and working styles.
How a Session Works
You don’t need to arrive with a finished idea. You need something to push against — a rough melody, a title that almost works, a track with a gap in the chorus. That’s enough to start.
The session moves from there. One of us throws something into the room. The other reacts. The song starts to pull itself into shape, or we find what it’s resisting and go around it. There’s no obligation to keep what doesn’t work — the line that gets cut is still worth writing if it helped reach the one that stays. That’s how I approach every session.
Live sessions run two to three hours. Async exchanges go until the song is somewhere worth stopping. Either way, you walk away with something real — a rough demo, a set of lyrics, or at minimum a clear sense of where the song is and what it needs next.
The same instinct that makes a session work — serving the song over serving your own lines — is what keeps a hook from becoming a placeholder. It’s the frame that everything runs on.
If you’d like to know whether we’d work well together — that’s worth a conversation.
Who This Is For
- Artists with a half-finished song and no one to push it forward.
- Producers with a strong track but no topline or lyric to anchor it.
- Writers who work alone and keep hitting the same walls.
- Anyone who’s tried to finish a song twelve times and still can’t hear it clearly — often a sign the lyrics need a second perspective.
If that sounds like where you are — start a session.
No. A title, a feeling, a reference track, or just a blank page all work. Something concrete to react to helps — a rough melody, a track with a gap — but it’s not required. We find the starting point together.
Live sessions — remote or in-person — typically run two to three hours. Async exchanges don’t have a fixed clock; we go until the song is somewhere worth stopping, then pick it up again if needed.
Standard starting point is 50/50, agreed at the end of the session while everything is still fresh. If the split needs adjusting based on what actually happened in the room, we discuss it then — openly, without it becoming a thing.
Yes. Cinematic pop, conceptual pop, dark pop, and sync-ready writing are home territory — but the session follows the song, not a style guide. If the song wants to go somewhere else, we go there.
Common. Book one session and see what comes out of it. We can continue from wherever it lands — no pressure to wrap everything in a single sitting if the song isn’t ready.
About
I’m Reece — songwriter, topliner, and producer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. I grew up arranging pop songs to perform them — learning what made them work by trying to recreate them exactly. That’s still how I approach a co-write: find what the song is actually doing, then build from there.
