Happy Birthday to a True Visionary — Tamanie Dove

Today, I want to celebrate someone whose vision and passion have changed the course of so many lives Tamanie Dove. As a songwriter, I see her not just as a leader, but as a beacon of hope and a true trailblazer in this industry. From Nashville’s soulful roots to Atlanta’s vibrant pulse, Tamanie’s unwavering dedication to supporting independent artists like us is nothing short of inspiring.

She founded the Singer Songwriters Association (ISSA) with one purpose: to uplift, empower, and give a voice to artists who often go unheard. And what’s so powerful about ISSA is that it’s always been a free platform a gift to every songwriter, singer, and musician out there. No fees, no barriers ,just a space to connect, grow, and be seen.

I know firsthand the countless hours she spends making sure ISSA is visible across social media, industry resources, and online platforms. All to give us ongoing exposure, support, and tools to push our careers forward without asking for anything in return. That kind of selfless dedication is rare, and it reminds me that true leadership is about service and belief in the power of our art.

Whenever I hear people ask about the benefits of ISSA membership, I tell them: it’s about community. It’s about finding others who understand our struggles and our dreams. It’s about networking, support, and staying informed. When you join, your social links and contact info are added for free promotion, opening doors that might have stayed shut otherwise. And I can honestly say ,I’ve never received spam or empty promises from ISSA. Just real opportunities and genuine connections.

So today, I celebrate not just another year of your life, Tamanie, but the incredible legacy you’re building ,a movement that proves that independent artists are powerful, and we’re not alone. Thank you for your vision, your passion, and your unwavering belief that our voices matter.

Happy birthday God Bless yououand may your light continue to shine and guide us all.

Thursday is more than just a day in the week it’s the quiet bridge between effort and anticipation, a moment to reflect on the journey so far. In songwriting, Thursday often feels like that pivotal point where the melodies start to take shape, and the lyrics begin to reveal their true meaning.
It’s a reminder that life, like a song, unfolds gradually each verse building on the last, every note adding depth and character. Thursday teaches us patience, persistence, and hope that even in the midst of busyness, there’s beauty in the process.
So today, whether you’re writing your next verse or simply walking through life’s rhythm, remember: every small step today lays the foundation for tomorrow’s breakthrough. Keep creating, keep believing, and trust the song that’s still being written. 🎶

As an older musician, I’ve discovered that maintaining your voice isn’t just about singing — it’s about caring for your whole body. Activities like walking, biking, and gentle exercise are powerful allies in building resilience, stamina, and vitality for your singing journey.

Your age doesn’t define your voice; your movement, breath, and presence do. Embrace the dance of body and voice, stay active, and let your experience shine through every note. Keep moving, keep singing, and celebrate the beautiful evolution of your craft! 🎶🌟🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️
