I provide lush male harmony backing vocals / intimate lead male vocals for your project in the spirit of the singer/songwriter greats. I can also write your song for you/ co-write. I've written music for others that have become hit singles. I can demo up or produce a finished version of your song to the point where we then just lay your vocal in.
