For working bands, I am also available for gigs and/or sessions. Contact me by email, call/text. Attn: Songwriters I have been writing songs for many years. I have learned from some of the best writers' in the industry and would be glad to share my knowledge with you. I lived in Nashville for 15 years, then on the West Coast for about 7 years. I have been blessed to work with so many talented and gifted musicians, vocalists, songwriters and producers. Thankfully, some of their knowledge rubbed off on me. So if you're having trouble coming up with words, melodies musical hooks etc., allow me to help your song get to the next level.
