About Me

For the past 20 years, Bob DiPiero has helped define the best that is Music Row. A legendarily funny and compelling performer, he is one of a handful setting the bar for present-day songwriter/entertainers. As a raconteur, he may have no equal among his peers, and as a musical ambassador and bridge-builder, he has helped make Nashville a port of call for legendary performers from all genres, writing with Neil Diamond, Carole King, Johnny Van Zant and Delbert McClinton, among many others. He is one of Nashville's most consistent and prolific writers of hits, and he remains at the top of his profession more than two decades after hitting Number 1 on the charts for the first time in 1983. His long string of hits includes the Oak Ridge Boys’ "American Made," Montgomery Gentry's “If You Ever Stop Loving Me,” Vince Gill's "Worlds Apart," Shenandoah's "The Church On Cumberland Road," Ricochet's "Daddy's Money," George Strait "Blue Clear Sky," Brooks & Dunn's "You Can’t Take the Honky Tonk Out Of the Girl," and Martina McBride's "There You Are." DiPiero has received three dozen BMI Country and Million-Air honors; CMA’s Triple Play Award in 1995 and 1996, “Song of the Year” for “Worlds Apart” at the Country Radio Music Awards in 1997, and Songwriter of the Year awards in 1998 at the Nashville Music Awards and in 2000 from Sony/ATV Nashville. He is a board member of the CMA and past president of NSAI.Jared Blake is a native of Arkansas and has been in Nashville for 8 years. He has been part of the Love Monkey Music family since 2005. Jared has a powerful, soulful approach to the way he writes and sings. He writes about real life and is able to capture audiences through such relatable experiences.
