About Me

I was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, but transferred in my job as a bank economist in 1971, to Melbourne, Australia, where I've lived ever since! I worked for myself since 1973, from 1981 until June 2007 in a business I started, distributing special dietary food products to retail stores. Assisted by the food technology skills of my partner, Barb, the business established it's own brand in 1988, Freedom Foods: we sold the business and the brand, end of June 2007. From a very young age, I wrote poetry and dabbled in song-writing: now "out-of-business" I have the time to get serious about it! At my stage of life, there's never nothing to write about: subject matter comes easy, new songs surface any day I let them, so I've built up quite a library of my compositions. Out of it all, I've had strong recording support in Nashville, with Stacy Hogan (www.awritersparadise.com) and our Out of the Woods studio group, supported by CD Baby sales. Outside of country music, I've composed 2 full-scale stage musicals, Paper Fortune$ and Chains of Freedom. Check out www.woodscompositions.com, where you'll see all of my album info! There are FOUR huge Country Music compilation albums, two being mixtures of male and female vocal,Gilt-Edged Country and Sunset Silhouettes , now on sale at CDBaby, hard copy or download, the other 2 featuring the superb vocals of Mike Lusk, Take the Highway, and Moving On.....Soon, we'll have 2 more featuring great Australian talent, with Paula's One Good Thing album plus a classic alternative country album being recorded with James Vincent. On the big-show front, I'm into writing my 3rd stage musical, about the amazing life and business journey of a prominent Australian immigrant. I keep my web-site www.woodscompositions.com right up-to-date with what's new in my enthralling world of music, so please check it out! There's lots to listen to on my Songs and Albums pages, and it's as easy as clicking Buy if you want to add any of my stuff to your music library!!!!! Cheers Gary Woods
