Tiffany Woys Tells Songwriters’ Stories In ‘What’s Mine Is Yours’ Podcast [EXCLUSIVE]

Tiffany Woys is making a name for herself with her music, but fans will soon get to see another side of the rising star. Woys just announced the launch of her What’s Mine Is Yours podcast, sharing the stories of some of music’s most prolific writers, including Jeffrey Steele, Shane Minor, Chris DuBois and more.

The inspiration for What’s Mine Is Yours began with a conversation Woys had with her manager, Greg McCorn.

“I am so excited about it,” Woys gushes to Everything Nash. “It started off with an idea that I had four years ago. I came to [McCorn] and said, ‘Hey, I think I want to do a YouTube series, but I want it to be where I sit down with writers of songs I’ve cut, and I want to see where our paths cross in the sense of why I chose to record it, and then why they wrote it. We probably have some kind of overlap there of personal life experiences, things that have been similar.'”

From there, Woys had the idea to reach out to not only songwriters of songs she has recorded, but other songwriters as well, writers who have penned some of country music’s biggest hits.

“That’s where it started at the very beginning of this journey,” Woys says. “I really got into it, learning what it’s like being the one asking the questions, and really diving into how that is such a talent in itself. And to learn how to be able to do that fluidly, and be able to sit and listen, because it’s not about the questions that you’re really asking. It’s about their answers and listening. And that’s what brings on the next questions.”

Once Woys started interviewing songwriters, she discovered she was unveiling a much bigger story, one she didn’t even anticipate.

“From there I realized it wasn’t just the stories behind the songs,” reflects the singer. “I realized that they don’t get spoken to very often. Songwriters don’t get asked questions the way artists do. They don’t have their time to tell their story of Nashville, their experience in the music industry.”

While Woys does get details on some of the songs the writers have written, she also goes much, much deeper into the writers as people, aside from their success in the music industyr.

“This isn’t just the stories behind the songs,” Woys maintains. “That’s still the heart of the show, but now it’s about what’s their take on the music industry. What’s their take on where it’s going, compared to where it’s been?  Do they like it? Do they not like it? What’s happened to them along the way that’s made them either want to leave or what’s made them want to stay? I think it’s not just the good, but it’s the ugly too. And what I love is that they’re so willing to speak. And then I realized that they’re so willing to speak, because nobody talks to them. That made me sad, and that made me realize this is why I’m doing this. Without them, we don’t have Nashville. We don’t have the music industry without the songwriters.”

Woys has trouble picking a favorite guest so far, but she does say she especially enjoyed sitting down with Brad and Brett Warren, who make up the Warren Brothers.

“I think the Warren Brothers were just so much fun because, not only are they fun, but they’re honest and they have so much more to them than just bein two funny, dynamic brothers that ping off each other with sarcasm and witty humor. They have a lot of things that they’ve been through. And so that part was really, really amazing to divulge. I know they share their story a lot, but I think I asked some questions that people won’t expect of me, and of anyone to ask when it comes to them.”

The What’s Mine Is Yours podcast is available here. Woys is back at radio with her latest single, “I Don’t Want You Back.” Find her music at TiffanyWoys.com.
