I have been playing guitar since the age of 12. Taught myself, since money was tight for lessons. Really got into the songwriting side of things rather than trying to be the next Eddie Van Halen. My ears were tuned mored towards the musical painting that I heard in the songs of all my favorites. So I studied my favorites, in songwriting, production, what instruments were used. Studied why certain songs from my favorite records were on the radio and the rest wasn't. What made the hit songs hits. sort of thing. The music in my myspace are selections from records I either produced or co-wrote the songs. I tour internationally with Canadian Americana/Roots artists Tia McGraff ( she is also my wife, bonus for me ) Tia has one of those voices that just stands out as one of, well ,
international stasis. To hear her is like listening to another soft angel style like Linda Ronstadt or Sarah McLaughlin with the power of Celine Dion. With her strong lyrical sense and my melodic arrangements, we were a perfect match for songwriting and as it turns out, even more than we expected. I was signed to a professional song writing deal in 1998 to 2001 in Nashville, wrote with some of the Nashville's best. That's were I really honed my skills in the craft of songwriting and producing.The You Tube Video is of Marcus G's "Canadian Dream" that I produced with Marc in Nashville. Let him know what you think!!
Also a new video from Tia McGraff.
