About Me

I'm a songwriter who lives in New Jersey and writes Country music. Call me crazy! The truth is that I grew up on music of the 70s -- the James Taylors, Jim Croces, Harry Chapins and Eagles --- and always loved a song that told a great story. That's the essence of great Country music and that's why I love to write it.I travel to Nashville every month and spend time writing, recording, networking and taking in some great live shows at The Blue Bird, 12th & Porter, 3rd & Lindsley, The Wildhorse...you name it! There are a thousand venues and the quality of the music is always great.I write every day of my life, whether it's 30 minutes or 3 hours and love finding new ways to say old things.For the past four years I've recorded all of my demos in Nashville studios using A+ rated session musicians and top notch singers.I'm a member of BMI and Perry Howard is my rep. I'm also a member of NSAI, TAXI & SONGU.COM. NSAI has opened more doors for me than I can mention. The education and support it has provided is beyond explanation.I don't ever write for the money but the dream is to get cuts. That would be the ultimate redemption for all the time and work I put into crafting the best possible songs.The past year has been a great one for me. I signed a bunch of single song contracts and am getting close to getting a few cuts. I'm always looking for collaboration opportunities so please contact me if you listen to a few of my songs and think we are musically compatible.You can e-mail me at lyricsmatter@aol.com or call 732-241-6188.In the meantime, I'm going to just keep enjoying the ride!!
