I currently self publish my songs and I retain full control of my catalogue of music, however, I am looking for a music publisher so that I can focus on the business of songwriting and recording demos of my material. I am always looking to collaborate with other songwriters and musicians who are interested in contributing to new songwriting projects or aspiring new artists who are keen to record and perform original material, particularly songs that I have written or co - written!
Influences
My musical taste and influences are varied but essentially I enjoy listening to guitar based music with melodic vocal harmonies, a punchy baseline and a good drum beat. I love Rock 'n' Roll, Rythum & Blues, Mowtown, Pop and Rock. I have even been known to listen to Country and Classical music. I particularly enjoy music from the swinging 60's, such bands as the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Who to name just a few! More recently I have been inspired by artists such as the Kings of Leon, White Lies, Elbow, Raconteurs, Razor Light, The Feeling, Keane, Kaiser Chiefs, James Blunt, James Morrison, Mika, Jack Johnson and Newton Faulkner. I also actively browse my space music and other similar music websites, to listen to the many talented unsigned artists offering samples of their original material on the world wide web. Music is life!

Alreet! Nice stuff. Would you check out yorkshirebands. ning. com? It's still new but it's a good little place to meet people who either do or want to do what you do...
Also... it would be ace to see you there. It would be good if you could put up some music or videos on there.
