Experienced songwriter and demo session vocalist in Los Angeles. Available for hire to record lead vocals and/or harmonies, as well as vocal tuning and comping, and top line/lyric writing. Hookman has a warm soulful tone with just the right amount of rasp. Perfect for EDM, Pop, R&B, House music, and any type of Retro Soul.
I have experience writing songs for every US major label, K-Pop labels and most of the big sync houses. Every song I record, write, or co-write will be eligible to be shopped with my sync and major label catalogue. My publisher, Sony ATV will also help with this as we both get many briefs daily.
