Songwriter, Historian, New Orleans, Nashville

About Me

In New Orleans I'm a mild mannered history professor. But I've been writing songs and have been into music all my life. I've played live and written songs in New Orleans for 20 years. For the past couple of years I've been coming to Nashville and writing. I go about one week out of every month at the moment. I have been truly blessed to write with a number of successful Nashville writers including Mark Narmore, Kris Bergsnes, Adam Wheeler, Jim McCormick, Jon McElroy, Pete Sallis, Will Rambeaux, and many others. I've also written with a number of artists including Andrea Pearson, who is a new Warner brothers pop artist. I have also written with Nashville Star finalists Angela Hacker, Justin David, and Casey Rivers. There are a whole host of other awesome up and coming artists like Ryan Griffin, Sammi Moore, Ty Williams, Melissa Fuller, Whitney Stuart, and Morgan Bracy that I have been writing with lately. I can't get enough of this writing thing and hope to do it as often as I can.
