About Me

Welcome! I paddle in the pond of song lyrics (indie, soul & blues) ... driven by soulful rhythms ... wrestling words into sculptures of the heart.

I am actively seeking musician/song writers of haunting and ethereal melodies to collaborate with. Check out my blogs for examples of my work, and let me know if you want to talk.

Major Influences: Rumi, Tom Waits, Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), Nora Jones, Pedro Ayres Magalhaes (Madredeus), Blind Boys of Alabama, Kate Bush, Seal, Eagles, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison.

The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along.

-- Rumi

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, song writers, lyricists, poets, writers, and any others who take pleasure in the bend of the metal word.
