By the end of the year he had written the lyrics to several dozen songs and needed to find a collaborator that could write the music In December 2003 Pedigo joined Nashville Songwriter's Association International (NSAI) and started attending their workshops.

In December 2003 Pedigo joined Nashville Songwriter's Association
International (NSAI) and started attending their workshops. In April 2004
he attended his first NSAI Songwriter's Symposium part of Tin Pan South, a
major songwriter's festival. It was at this symposium where the introverted
Pedigo met his future co-writer Parrish Stanton. Pedigo recalls, "I just
forced myself to shake hands with the person sitting next to me at each
session." At one of these sessions he shook Stanton's hand.

Within a month the new songwriting duo would begin their first song. The
prolific duo of Pedigo and Stanton would go on to write more than a hundred
songs in their first year including DEAR SANTA.
Pedigo says his favorite songwriters are Bernie Taupin and Kris
Kristofferson. His musical influences include classic rock and classic
country. He has seven daughters and a son and lives in Brentwood, Tennessee
with his wife and children.
