My name is Jeffrey East and I’ve been a professional songwriter and touring artist for most of my life.
In 2012, while writing a song on a porch on Music Row, I had an idea. “How cool would it be to have a place where someone could drop in with their song and get advice from a pro on how to make it hit better, or how to best land the hook? A place to take their idea and bring it to life then learn how to navigate the business once the song is written...”
Now, that idea is a reality and I’d love to help you achieve your dream of writing songs at the highest level possible. Welcome To The HitLine.
I’m a Grammy Award–winning singer/songwriter/producer, and I’ve been lucky enough to have Billboard-charting cuts with artists like Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Matchbox Twenty, Eli Young Band, Jon Pardi and many others. As an independent artist, I’ve gathered over 50+ million streams, and my songwriting has surpassed 100 million streams. You might have even heard my work on ABC, CMT, NBC, and Netflix.
I’d love to work with you to create songs that truly resonate and stand out in the industry. Each track I provide includes my professional songwriting expertise and, if you opt in, my marketable vocal performance—perfect for pitching to publishers, music supervisors, or other artists.
1 Hour Coaching Session
-
We’ll spend an hour together on Zoom, diving into any topic you’d like—whether it’s songwriting challenges, career direction, refining your artistry, or a “punch up” of a song. During our session, I’ll help you define clear action steps so you can move forward with confidence in your music journey.
Core Songwriting Session
-
Purchase up to three hours of co-writing time, dedicated to crafting a single song together. Our session will take place via Zoom, and as your co-writer, I’ll retain 50% ownership of the song we create.
Includes a iPhone Voice Memo of written song.
Cowrite w/ Worktape Demo
-
Purchase up to three hours of co-writing time, dedicated to crafting a single song together. Our session will take place via Zoom, and as your co-writer, I’ll retain 50% ownership of the song we create.
After we’ve finished writing the song, I’ll create a “worktape demo” to capture the overall feel of the track. This typically involves piano/vocal or acoustic guitar/vocal recordings, and sometimes I’ll add a loop, percussion, or a keyboard part—possibly even bass—without going for a full production. (Please note that a single instrument and vocal track fulfills the basic requirement, though I occasionally add more layers to better showcase the song.)

Important Note
Songwriting Credit: Since I’ll be composing music and melodies and lyrics in tandem with you, I’ll be credited as a 50% co-writer.
Co-Publishing Arrangement (Only If the Song Is Released):
If the song is eventually recorded and released by an artist, you agree to sign a one-song co-publishing deal with my publishing company, KnoxBox Music. In that scenario, you retain 100% of your writer’s share (50% of the song) plus half of your publishing share (25% overall), while the other 25% goes toward administrating the song to ensure you receive your royalties. This clause only comes into effect if and when the song is officially released.By making any purchase, you acknowledge and agree to this stipulation.
Payment Plans: If you’d like to purchase a packaged deal, message me regarding possible payment plans if interested.
