I’m a songwriter recording an eclectic mix of musical genres, including country, soul, R&B, blues, jazz, & pop, all with a rather vintage/retro vibe. Recognized by the major song contests [including a 2-time Lennon Award winner], I look forward to placements in film/TV/ads, & of course piquing the interest of recording artists. Other stuff: Psych PhD; avid lover of dogs, sports [competitive fast-pitch softball pitcher], cooking,

Guitar, songwriting [words & music]. I enjoy featuring complex but compelling harmonies in my songs, and from them spring the melodies, lyrics, and overall vibe.

The American Songbook [the songs and the artists who sing them], Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Phil Spector, the Beatles, Brian Wilson, Bacharach/David, Tony Jobim, Chico Buarque, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Webb, Steely Dan, David Foster, many of the great songs/artists from the 1960s, classic country.
