songwriter, publisher, signed writer

I started writing poetry at an early age but now I'm a songwriter trying to get my songs recorded. I've been writing songs since the late 1990's and continue to write whenever I get a chance. I've written songs with Garrick Alden, Kay Carnell, Jack Boucher, David Choi and many others. I also on occasion write a couple by myself. I currently have several songs playing in Europe and on country radio in the USA. Contact WPOC and WMZQ in Maryland and have them play my songs. My song "The Moon And Mars" and "Is It Friday Yet" are on there regular rotation. If you need a song or like my songs and want to record any of them just contact me. I use the standard mechanical contract. MELVIS2000@YAHOO.COM I was born in a small coal mining town right outside of Charleston, West Virginia called Gauley Bridge. Life was hard growing up we had to struggle to get everything we had. As I think back now I'm amazed how we survived. We lived with my grandmother on occasion and having 15 people living in a 2 room house amazes me to this day. I remember many times sleeping on the floor and when the wood burning pot belly stove went out your toes would turn to popsicles boy I get cold just thinking about it. Growing up in the back woods of America and going through so much trauma and struggles in life is what I try to put in my songs today. We are all here for a reason so why not make life better and make people happy. Laughter is the cure for all that's wrong with the world.
