The present paper is a reflective report about my practice as a songwriter and the work I have done throughout my studies in the program NAIP: New Audiences and Innovative Practice at Listaháskóli Íslands. My time in Iceland has been one of exploration and personal encounters, resulting in a learning outcome that supports both my professional development and my personal enhancement. The program has given me the chance to experiment with my art practice and expand my interests as an artist. This paper analyzes my artistic development, the methods used to carry out my practice, and a description of my creative process. I also present a sample of the work I have done during the last two years, focusing on a selection of songs to be materialized as an eight-track album and an EP of four songs.
