I have been writing songs since my early teens. It was something that I "found" for myself and somehow got the courage up to follow through with from quite a young age.
After embarking on a music "career" where you are expected to actually prove your value in the market-place, I sort-of took the easy method of this creative process and spent the majority of my time writing both words and music for specific things - like theatre, radio and occasionally for specific people in my life.
It wasn't until recently that I began to write songs that honestly spoke of things and the way I see and truly feel about them. Some of these still have the exterior of the "tongue-in-cheek" flavor of theatrical songs - but I have returned to a place in which I am happy and content writing music accepting things as they come to me - in any style - on any subject. I've included "living-room (or in my case - cabin)" recordings of most of them on my "new-songs" page. Have a listen if you're interested.
These are the focus of my timeand energy and I am about to embark on a recording project of this material.
Stay tuned if you're interested!
