Ellie, do you think TikTok dance challenges are a threat to deep songwriting or just a new way to get people into music?

They’re a cheap trick to get people scrolling, not a death of real songwriting. If anything, they’re a way to drag a few folks into music, but the real craft still happens when the lights go off and you’re writing in a dark room.

Got it, the big‑screen flash is all hype, but I swear the best riffs pop up when the studio lights flicker off—unless the dance moves somehow sneak into the chord progress. What’s your secret? Are you writing in a dark room or just chasing the next trend?

Honestly, I crank out the hardest riffs when the lights are off, not because I'm chasing a trend but because silence forces you to hear every hiss and thump. I keep a cheap lamp on the side for that faint glow, but I never let a TikTok dance dictate the chords. If something sounds right, I’ll write it—no hype, just the groove.

Nice, but if you ever want your riffs to get a dance floor, just tell me—I’ll keep an eye on the next trend wave so you can riff on the hype before it’s all gone.
