What was once a satisfying outlet is now a more serious concern. I am the grand prize winner in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition for my collaboration “I’m Not Your Friend” with Eduard Glumov of Kazakhstan. I’ve been writing lyrics for a number of years and now they’re being read on a wider stage. Thank goodness for turning 40 and mid-life crises (ongoing).
I write almost everything. A freakish gift for the use (and abuse) of words, I shift from cabaret, to folk, to rock, to country, to indie, to jazz, to just about everything. I enjoy challenging myself to write clear, well-structured lyrics in different styles.
I’m now looking to find artists who are interested in my work – writing with me, or performing songs I’ve written with others. Now that I have a small song catalog, with different writers, and a backlog of lyrics, I’m looking for people who can help bring them to places where they can be heard.
Hi Z! The new website is great! Thanks for the add, and for allowing me to be a part of one of your great collaborative projects. It is a favorite on my play list. Keep these great songs coming!
Thx for adding me. Again congrats on ur win!! You've inspired me to apply a song for the next round. I'm in a co-writing team with a guitarist in Austria...
