About Me

I'm very pleased to announce four of my recorded lyrics are included on Tim Turner's new CD release, To You, now available for download on ITunes !

So for now 'm just a humble lyricist (though I'm learning to play the guitar and blues harp), but in the near future I hope to be playing my own material (whether I can actually sing remains to be seen lol). In the meantime, I'm hoping to work with musicians interested in taking my words and bringing them to life.

I don't really write for a specific genre, so it's always exciting to hear how a musician interprets one of my lyrics... I have finished collaborations posted here and at my Soundclick site if you care to have a listen to them. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/17/2006
Band Website: soundclick.com/desolatesoul
Band Members: At the moment I only write the words, but I've been fortunate enough to have found some very talented musicians to make my lyrics come to life. The internet has been a great place to find collaborators and thus far I've had the opportunity to work with musicians from the UK, Russia, the States and my hometown Montreal.
Influences: Too many to mention, but they run the gamut in Rock, Alternative, Punk, Blues and Metal...As far as my writing goes, I get inspiration from books, movies, newspapers, TV, politics, religion, philosophy, history, personal experience, etc. - I'm very curious by nature so pretty much anything can inspire my imagination - then I just write and hope to create interesting lyrics.
Type of Label: None
