In the clip below, solo artist Lindsay Schoolcraft (ex-Cradle Of Filth) and her producer Tyler Williams (Monolithic Productions) talk about confidence in songwriting in their latest online chat.

Lindsay: "Everyone has their place in songwriting, especially in the dynamic of a metal band. Every role is important when it comes to songwriting. If you're one of those people that doesn't have a vision of a song from beginning to end, but you add little piece here and there - guitar riffs, arrangement ideas - you're just as important.
