My guests are Pete and Pat Luboff.

We are songwriters, music publishers and songwriting educators. For many years we were music business photojournalists and arts administrators. In 40 years of working as a team, we have built a broad base of knowledge of the music business with particular emphasis in all aspects of songwriting and have developed extensive contacts with hundreds of songwriters, producers, music publishers and record label executives.

As songwriters, we have had success with "Trust Me," the first single on Snoop Dogg's "Topp Dogg" album, "I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much," a No. 2 chart recording by Bobby Womack, "Body Language" cut by Patti LaBelle (gold album) and the featured song in the John Travolta movie, "The Experts," "The Son My Daddy Never Had," a charting Country single with Miko Marks, and recordings by Michael Peterson, Glenn Jones, among others.

We have been teaching songwriting workshops since 1979 and currently conduct workshops in Nashville.  We also travel to teach workshops.  Recent cities we’ve done workshops in are New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Seattle, Indianapolis and Denver.  Click here to find out more about hosting a Luboff workshop in your town.  And here to read what songwriters have said about us.

For almost 20 years, Pete conducted the Monday night workshops at the National Academy of Songwriters. Pete also taught advanced songwriting at UCLA for 13 years.  We’ve both taught workshops at the Taxi Road Rally and screened extensively for Taxi.  We also have judged for various songwriting contests, including the Just Plain Folks, John Lennon, and Great American Song contests.
