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.
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!
I don't currently play live, though I am in the process of placing a song or two with a local band.
I know "versatile" is the poison word for songwriters, so I'll try and be concise: Matchbox 20, Simon and Garfunkel, Linkin Park, Enya
