HTWS is Keppie Coutts and Benny Romalis.
Keppie and Benny have been teaching songwriting in world-class and globally recognized colleges and universities for over 15 years, including for The Berklee College of Music, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the Australian College of the Arts, and more. Teaching others is not a “plan B” for them – it’s a calling, a passion, and a privilege, which has been sought out by the world’s best institutions of higher learning in contemporary music education.
Keppie’s original and co-written songs have been streamed over 10 million times in the past 3 years alone; an album of original work was commissioned by Penguin Random House in 2022; and in 2024 she was a featured artist on the Grammy-nominated album, "Aaaaah," by Andrew & Polly.
Benny is a founding member of internationally touring bluegrass band The Green Mohair Suits, and has been commissioned for major composition projects by Adobe, Cathay Pacific and Audible.
Their popular YouTube channel, How to Write Songs, has well over 150K subscribers, and almost 8 million views of their videos. Their unique ability to turn theory into practice with passion, humour, and joy, has inspired songwriters around the world.
