I am a non-performing songwriter, primarily a lyricist, but sometimes I come up with good melody ideas, too. After writing on my own for years, I started collaborating in 2003. I've found some wonderfully talented partners, created some songs I love and we have had some success in getting our songs placed. Four of our songs have made it onto CDs being sold around the world, one won a song contest and others have been selected for podcasts, promo CDs and compilation CDs (see below).

Tim McGraw, Westlife, Aretha Franklin, Josh Groban, Natalie Imbruglia, Brooks and Dunn, Lonestar, Ronan Keating, Boyz II Men, Stacie Orrico, Simon Cowell, Vikki Carr, Dierks Bentley and many others have considered our songs. No one has recorded one, yet, but at least they're listening. Someday ...

Have a listen to a few songs. They all sound different. There are many styles and genres (pop, alternative, adult contemporary, country ... ), with different producers and vocalists.

On a personal note: I came down with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in 1993. In Europe, it is called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME. It is not life-threatening, but is life-altering. I can only do about 5 percent of 'normal'. I even had to stop listening to music, because it gets me excited, and any over-stimulation makes me even more fatigued. However, my subconscious didn't like this, and it made me start writing my own music in my head. This is how my songwriting began. I still don't get to listen to as much music as I'd like, but I do write quite a few songs.
