I'm a songwriter with a wide variety of influences. I am currently seeking a publisher for one or more of my songs. Though I focus on commercially viable Country/Rock and Adult Contemporary, my wide range of infuences ensures that on any given CD of my work, there's something for all tastes in music.
Do you play live?
I don't currently play live, though I am in the process of placing a song or two with a local band.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Thanks to the internet, I'll probably make a lot less money songwriting, though I probably wouldn't have had a chance without it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In a heartbeat.
Band History:
I've been writing music for 5 years. I moderate The Muse's Muse Music and Lyric Critique message board - come join up to exchange constructive criticism with other songwriters from around the world!
Your influences?
I know "versatile" is the poison word for songwriters, so I'll try and be concise: Matchbox 20, Simon and Garfunkel, Linkin Park, Enya
Favorite spot?
The swamp. Seriously.
Equipment used:
Echo Gina3G soundcard, Fender Strat, Edirol PC-80, Propellerheads Reason 4.0, Ableton Live
