About Me

My photo
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!

My song "Over & Over" receiving rave reviews!

Hi Folks,

Just a short note to let you know that a link to my song titled "Over & Over" has been sent out in Karl Schwarz's recent email update, which has the potential to be seen by millions of people. Already there have been almost a four-fold jump in visits to my website and particularly that song, which has been downloaded well over 100 times in only a day and a half!

For those of you who do not know who Karl Schwarz is, I recommend that you check out his website. He is a brilliant man who is planning to run for President in 2008. He has much political experience, having worked for both the RNC and the DNC. He says that both mainstream political parties in the US are two sides of the same rotten coin, and it's time to clean house and return government to the people.

I firmly support him and his campaign!
