Influences
LOVE and RESPECT should be our GREATEST INFLUENCE! People who make a positive difference in this World. PEACE! Why is the World so angry?
ACOUSTIC, BLUES, COUNTRY, ROCK, RAGGAE, COMEDY, WORLD Music...ALL GENRES! The GREAT Storytellers! Jim Croce, James Taylor, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger, Dan Fogelberg, Cat Stevens, John Denver, etc. ALL the SONGWRITERS that have taught and moved me. TOO MANY to Mention! THANK YOU Ray Adkins wherever you are!
Givers...OPRAH! Marie Murphy! MANY THANKS to Mr. T, The "Tinman". Mark, you are so much more to me than even MUSIC can define! I LOVE YA', MATE! Don't get too excited!
Welcome to the CURVY JANE myspace page! I am a moderately successful Songwriter with several TOP 10 National Charted Songs, including CMAA Award Winning Song & TSA COUNTRY Song of the Year "Candlelight & Kisses" with CM Duo Carter & Carter, 2003 MUSICOZ COUNTRY SONG & APRA Song of the Year, TSA Country Song of the Year "Some Men Just Let Go" (Michael King), 1997 CMAA Awards "New Talent" Nominated Song and ASAI Country Song of the Year "No Surrender Romeo" (Tamara Stewart) as well as the ASAI RUDY BRANDSMA Award, amongst others. I have written jingles for SSS/ Stetson's BBQ Barns, Mitsubishi Motors and First National Real Estate. I write Songs for Children and was a Finalist in the 2007 ISC. Though I have won a few Songwriting Awards, it's the REWARD of being a Songwriter that I am most Proud of. It has given me LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS and the privilege of working with other Songwriters and Amazing Artists. This is what matters most...PEOPLE! ~
My forte is TnC Country, but I write most genres. I LOVE the feel of GOSPEL Music and the spirit of it! It's okay to use a banjo in ROCK and a Sax in Country... MIX IT UP...there are NO RULES in creative expression of music! ACOUSTIC Music is my FAVORITE! REAL 'n RAW! ~ EVERYTHING Anthony Snape excites me! CHECK HIM OUT! ~ I support INDIE ARTISTS and LIVE Music. They struggle to keep their dream alive and get their Music heard. PLEASE SUPPORT INDIE ARTISTS! MUSICOZ is making a HUGE difference. THANK YOU Pat Maloney! ~
I LOVE WRITING in General!!! I'm currently writing a Screenplay (which began it's life as a TV Sitcom). This is new and exciting, yet challenging and sometimes frustrating! My Mentor, Marie Murphy has been my teacher, my inspiration and most importantly...MY FRIEND. She has given me the encouragement to believe in myself beyond Songwriting. THANK YOU Murph! ~
I LOATHE Narcissistic people who use others for self-gain. My mantra in life is..."The greatest good we can do for others is not give them of our own wealth but to show them their own". I've been in Music Mgmt. & PR for many years (Semi-Retired now) and helped kickstart a few Careers. They know who they are. Everyone needs and deserves someone to believe in them without condition. *Note: Educate yourself in ALL areas of business as talent can only take you so far! ~
I love my Family, my Friends, my Dog, Music and my Planet. I LOVE WATER and respect it is our "Lifeline". DO NOT WASTE IT...We CANNOT sustain LIFE without it! RECYCLE! ~ Love and respect is Paramount! This is it...One Life...Make the most of it! ~
