In addition, Garrett is currently featured in Birmingham Lifestyle’s Nov. Giving Back issue with his innovative songwriting program “The Write Life” offered through nonprofit The Dannon Project, one of the nation’s leading reentry and training-to-work agencies.

“‘The Write Life’ is not just about a songwriting program, but a life coaching process to help people build the confidence to share their own stories, a positive mindset and relationships that can help break down preconceived barriers,” explained Garrett.

Speaking with Birmingham Lifestyle, he added “I love giving back as a mentor — not just teaching songwriting but also representing who a person can be through working hard, making good decisions and dreaming.”

The triple threat singer/songwriter and producer recently released the music video for title track “The Lightness Of Love,” featuring guest co-star Meredith Lilly, the State Director for U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock of Georgia and former campaign manager for President Barack Obama. Earlier this year, he performed his emotive, self-penned song “It Starts In The Heart” as the opening to the 56th annual Selma Bridge Crossing, one of the largest annual Civil Rights Commemoration events in the world.
