Optimism
Happy Montana is an award-winning musician, songwriter, composer, producer, and entrepreneur, building at the wild intersection of music, technology, joy, and service. 🎶
As music director of Songa, he brings live songwriting and audience participation experiences across the US. Recently in Nashville, guests and top Nashville performers described the improv music experience Happy created in two words:
Happy has a heart for volunteering, and was recognized for his 14 years leading music programs for hospitalized children at The Art of Elysium's Heaven Gala in 2020. He is the Founding Partner and Executive Director of the Milt Olin Foundation, which aims to end distracted driving through the #StopWrex campaign. 🛡️
The elevation continues into 2027, on Earth, the third planet from the sun, in the Milky Way Galaxy, as he collaborates with musicians across the globe. A passionate producer and songwriter, Happy is launching his project "Happy Montana and the Southern Lights" before the end of 2026. He's building Song Social for song promotion and fan engagement, and Song Nashville, a community connecting Nashville songwriters with producers, musicians, and other music pros. 🌎
Above all, Happy is grateful for the chance to innovate and inspire in music and technology, especially cheering on younger generations to chase their creative passions. Because creativity is medicine, joy is a strategy, and the future gets better when more people are invited to make something real. ✨
The Number One Incident
One time, Happy had a group called Jazz Punks, featuring his piano madness.
Unfortunately for Esperanza Spalding and (a reissued) Bill Evans, they were knocked out of the number one position that year for a few weeks.
Happy has yet to write them an apology letter.
