Hi,
I first started writing songs when I was about 10/11 years old and gradually moved into writing music for the stage which combined my love of music and drama. So I now concentrate on this although it usually all starts with a good song!!!. I have also written music for orchestra and other various instrumental groups. I usually write both music and lyrics although I find writing lyrics the hardest- I have tried to work with other lyricists but I have not found anyone who is working in the same direction as me yet!!!!!!
I have written 3 rock operas - 1 complete and has been performed and 2 in-complete and 1 children's musical that has been performed. At the moment I am working on another rock opera and another children's musical ( to lyrics that have already been written!!!).
If you want to have a look at my scores visit :-

Any comments on the songs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
