Speaker Introduction
Our next speaker is a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member, a Grammy Award-winner for Best Country Song, AND a New York Times bestselling author.
He’s the writer of eight #1 hit songs and 25 BMI award-winning songs, including the mega hit “Live Like You Were Dying,” recorded by Tim McGraw.
His volunteer and charitable work is as prolific as his songwriting. He’s served on the Boards for the Country Music Association, the Nashville Songwriters Association International, the High Hopes Development Center, and the TJ Martell Foundation, among many others.
His songs are so popular that they’ve accumulated more than 45 million broadcast plays. To put that into perspective, if you played those 45 million performances back-to-back-to-back, they would play continuously for 270 years. Yes, you heard that right. 270 years.
Today, he’ll share with us what chart-topping songwriters know about creativity, collaboration, and teamwork—so that we can top the charts in our industry, too.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome…. Tim Nichols!
