And now to see that’s happening for me is just really beautiful and I’m grateful. I’d try and find out as much about their life as possible. Even though I was trying to be a superstar myself for a very long time, I was always obsessed with songwriters, always. I think when you’re famous you can feel your life changing or better or worse with your musical success. My actual day to day life hasn’t changed at all, cause I just work with famous people, I’m not a famous person. Now that there’s been success I’m still just going to as many sessions as possible and writing as much as I can. Tranter: Everyday there is something where I’m just like, “How the f**k did this happen?” When I first started writing songs with and for other people there were two years of no hits and no success and I was just going to as many sessions as possible and I was just writing as much as I possibly could. And, as you said, every single day I go and I learn something new from somebody, so that’s a really cool feeling.īaltin: Do those moments where you are referred to as the “super-songwriter” and you have five songs on the charts still feel surreal to you? It was an awesome experience and being a mentor to somebody is really cool.

They deserve to be because they’re the ones who have to go and play these songs the rest of their lives, not me. And also, for me, coming from a band background, I really love the band vibe and I love you’re writing a song, but you’re having to take in four different personalities, make sure everyone feels respected, heard and seen. I went in and did two sessions initially and was so blown away by their talent and their songwriting talent I was like, “Oh, I’m going in deep.” I don’t know exactly what the track list is yet, but I think I have a good chunk of the album with them. I had such an amazing time with and I think the album is gonna really surprise people. Justin Tranter: There is always something to learn. Steve Baltin: Talk about what you get to learn being around so many different artists.
