There have been so many projects we’ve been so proud to work on. Jessica : This is a hard question (in a good way!). What are some projects you’ve worked on that you’re most proud of and why? That’s when you get to see everyone on the team light up and create these amazing moments together. Patrick : I can’t wait for us to finally get back to in-person writing camps. It’s a perfect balance between all of us. My creative team is very hands-on with our writers as well - constantly in communication on new briefs and ideas, setting them up in sessions, etc. I’m just a highly creative individual so I’m constantly thinking of ideas, writing, doing some sort of art form or thinking of new ways to do things. I like to push my writers to try new things and go beyond the scope of what they are used to and think outside the box.
I also love to pair our writers together and figure out who would work best in a room based on each of their strengths and uniqueness. I’m always up for that challenge and totally welcome it. Maybe it’s a vibe, element, theme, or fusing different sounds together that are super interesting and cool and might not have been done before. My favorite part of collaboration with my fellow writers/producers is coming up with ideas for songs or starting a new artist project that brings something brand new to the table that we might not yet have on our roster. When I’m actually writing in a session as a co-writer, I am “songwriter Jess” versus “CEO Jess.” I am able to fluidly live between both worlds, which is exactly what I set out to do from the beginning. I’m constantly in writing sessions, either helping shape a song, giving briefs and creative ideas, or co-writing songs. Jessica : I collaborate on a weekly basis with our writers.
Can you tell us about your creative process and approach when working with writers for them to create at their highest potential? Now almost 10 years since inception, we have an incredible roster of over 300 + artists and songwriters from all over the world and thousands of TV/ Film, Trailers, Promos & Ads placements. Traveling back and forth as much as I did was quite exhausting so in 2014, we officially made the decision to move Lyric House to Los Angeles and opened our office in Hollywood. About 2 years in, I had been going back and forth from Denver to Los Angeles every few weeks to have more face time with our music supervisor clientele. The catalog began with amazing musicians and bands from Denver and within the first year, we branched out of Colorado and started signing artists from all over the world. I saw a need at the time that wasn’t being fulfilled in the city, so it really lit a fire within me. Being a songwriter myself, it was important to me to combine my passion for songwriting and creative with the business side, so I decided to start a music publishing company. A few years prior, I had received my bachelor's degree in Music Industry Studies from the University of Colorado at Denver, so I knew the city well and was very familiar with the music scene. I had just moved back to Denver after living in Nashville and soon after my move back, I was seeking that same sense of songwriting community that I felt when I was in Nashville. Jessica: Lyric House started in 2012 in Denver, Colorado. Tell us a little bit about Lyric House and how it all came to be. Lyric House is a music licensing and publishing company that ESPN has had the pleasure of working with on a variety of projects. It’s time to kick off the new year with a bang of an interview with Jessica Cole (Founder and President) and Patrick Clancy (Director of Music and Creative) from Lyric House.
