"It all begins with a song."
We're glad you stopped by. If you're a songwriter, or you want to learn how to become a songwriter, you've come to the right place. Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) has been around since 1967, and the NSAI San Diego Chapter has been around since 1992. It is open to all songwriters and lyricists of every genre and style, amateur or professional. You do not have to be a performer or musician, and you don't have to be able to read music! The purpose of NSAI is to help members improve the craft of songwriting in a friendly, supportive environment. For information about the history of the NSAI San Diego Chapter, click HERE.
