Sounds Like:
.......
Me.
And, possibly, you.
I'd like to meet artists, producers or labels who find something interesting in my music, who might like me to write for them, or use my existing songs (a ton in the catalogue), or collaborate.
It's incredible when I hear my songs by different artists. Sometimes someone reaches in to find something new in a song I've thought I'd fully explored.
Collaborations have included the bands Reckoniton, Jericho's Ladder, Jamm, gospel artist Paul Grai, and pop-rock artist Ryan Po. I'm also starting an exciting collaboration with Katlyn Lowe, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter.
So challenge me. If you like something in my music, need songs for your artists, for your own band, or would like to collaborate, give me a shout right here .
Let's make some music together.
