About Me

My talents include:

• Composing (er, Kompozing!)

I am no longer accepting invites for vocal work. 

"Consider this, when you hear someone whistling a tune, what is it that they whistle? The chord progression? No. The bassline? Obviously not. The guitar riff? Very unlikely. It is almost universally the vocal melody of the song. The vocal melody of the song is what sticks with most people; and in many cases is what makes them like or dislike a song (whether they realize that is the case or not.) If your melodies are well-written and catchy, people will remember and enjoy your music. If the melodies you write are carelessly written and bland, they won't. It's that simple."

I write songs.  La La La.  How's that?  OK.  How about La LA LALA LA.  Nailed it right?  No?  Hmmmmmm.  That's kind of all I got.  Are you sure it doesn't work?....  Ok.. Ok..  I got it... Its a mix of both La La LALA La..... nuff said.
