Kevin Griffin is an award-winning songwriter, producer, and performer whose songs have sold in excess of eighty million copies and been streamed over a billion times. 


He is best known as the singer and founding member of the platinum-selling rock band, Better Than Ezra. He has written numerous #1’s and had songs performed by artists such as Taylor Swift, Train, Sugarland, James Blunt, and many more. He is a co-founder and partner in Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival located in Franklin, Tennessee.


Kevin’s new book "The Greatest Song" is an incredibly entertaining and insightful look into the lessons of finding and redefining your purpose in order to sustain long-term success in a fickle and cutthroat industry and is out now!

  • Writing a hit song
  • How to break a creative deadlock
  • “A lazy man works twice as hard” - get it right the first time
  • The TRUTH about being a global ‘rockstar’ and the music industry
  • Trying to recreate former success by rewriting an old hit
  • Being prepared to change the formula when it stops working for you
  • How to be creative under pressure
