I am a published songwriter who writes catchy hooks and melodies in the styles of Pop, Country and Soft Rock. I have performed live on Breakfast Television in Toronto, Global News at Noon, as well as in music videos shown on CMT. My songs have been recorded by different artists, and I have songs used in television shows and film. I have performed in many different bands over the years in the genres of country, pop and rock. My influences include such great harmony bands as The Byrds, The Eagles, Blue Rodeo, Poco, CSNY, Alison Krauss and Union Station, as well as the great artists and songwriters Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Garth Brooks, Dan Fogelberg, Joni Mitchell, Rob Thomas and so many more. I am involved in the music industry as a songwriter, performer, producer, jingle writer, voice over talent, studio musician, publisher, promoter and licensing agent. I am currently recording my first album of original songs and hope to have it available some time in the new year. There is SO MUCH great talent that exists in the great pool of unsigned artists and songwriters. My advice to others: Be true to yourself, follow your heart and NEVER give up your dream!

Looking for a hit song to record?


As a long time songwriter, I am always searching for artists who are looking for that "hit song" to record. Although I have written many songs that definitely have "hit" potential, I have recently written a song titled "I'm Giving In" that I feel in my gut has the potential to become number one on either the pop, AC or country charts, depending on how it's produced. It is an up-tempo song with a very catchy hook and melody, and I encourage any recording artists who are currently looking for songs to have a listen then contact me. I promise that you won't be disappointed!
