    JJ McGuigan is an award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and mental health advocate from Wichita, Kansas. He was a finalist in the VH1 Save The Music Songwriting Contest, along with his music being heard on hundreds of radio stations around the world. A drummer since age 13, McGuigan later picked up the guitar and began writing songs in his early twenties. He attended Newman University and Full Sail University, a renowned music recording school that furthered his appreciation for the landscape that songs are draped across before they are shown to the world. Songwriting has now become JJ’s main focus and passion, with an emphasis on lyrical creation.

    “In All Honesty” has a warm Appalachian feel, with acoustic guitar and vocals beginning the song. Each rotation of the chorus introduces new instruments to the mix; bass, lead guitar melodies, drums, percussion bells, and more rhythmic guitar. Vocals are perfectly set, and emotive as they describe the story of a person soul-searching, in pursuit of love or a human connection so strong that it makes life worth living and exploring. The overall tone of the song creates a contemplative urgency to the lyrics, like getting lost on a long hike as night begins to fall. “…And in all honesty, I’ve been searching for someone, someone like me (to set me free)”
