Song Alchemy
This show is a deep dive into the alchemy of turning raw life experiences into powerful songs that heal, impact, and touch the lives of those who create them or listen to them. Whether it's a famous artist or an unknown songwriter, the power of music to meet you in your heart and move you is unparalleled.Let's dive into the alchemy of healing, music, and impact.
Season 2 is an exploration of Andrea telling the stories that inspired some of the songs she wrote. The one lesson I learned from this period of time was that if I free my story and stop hiding, I free myself.
The first 19 episodes were during her time as the business creator of Swet Seat. These episodes are about athletic, adventurous women that Andrea interviewed while building her product and company Swet Seat. Swet Seat sold in 2022, so if you still need a seat cover, head over to swetseat.com to support the new owner.

Ep 10: Andrea McKee - What it's Like to Write Songs
How Andrea went from no background growing up in music to writing songs, recording an album, and going on tour. I'm your host and I consider myself a very creative person. I've always loved to sing and did choirs in high school along with church choirs. I did a few solos, but my confidence grew in college. Songwriting became something that I fell in love with in college after a few experiences that led up to it. After my freshman college roommate, Tracy was killed in a car accident, I became intent on carrying out her songwriting legacy. She inspired me with her love of guitar and songwriting, so I took a guitar class. That particular method of guitar playing didn't resonate well with me, so I put the guitar down for a couple of years. I picked it back up when I started a bluegrass band for a talent show and it was history from there. I bought my own guitar, wrote my first song, and now I've written over 100 songs. I went on a house concert tour with my 6 month old after producing a 7 song album. You'll hear a few of those songs on this episode. You can find my music by Googling Andrea Belita. You can find my album anywhere you listen on Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, YouTube, etc. Watch my two music videos I'm Yours and Going Dancing. I've also written a few kid's songs for The Leader in Me and Be Proactive has 145K views on YouTube with hundreds of kids across the country performing my songs for their schoolwide leadership programs.
