Song Crafter and Lyricist

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Currently I'm finishing up my second studio album titled, "The Lover and The Fighter".

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: I'm here to give the project my all. I can promise I will go above and beyond what other songwriters will do for your project. I am more interested in the success of the song, than the payment for it.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: Alot of people go in thinking a songwriter is a producer. I do have the ability to outsource production and beat makers into a project, but my primary job is creating lyrics, melodies, and hooks.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Don't hire someone because of who they have already worked with. The best music is created by the most dedicated team. I am not here just to cash a check, I'm here to make great music with the potential to make it big. I am just as invested in this project as you are. People who have already made it, are not as hungry and will not give your work the time and dedication it needs.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I have always wanted to write songs for other people. I never had the necessary connections to get my ideas heard, so I decided to become an artist myself in order to get noticed. I developed my singing and guitar skills to compliment my songs. After gaining enough traction and fans to have a professional career, I still had the desire to write for other people. Which is why I am here now.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: As far as style is concerned, I often like to write big choruses. As in "powerful" choruses. I believe a strong chorus is what hits a song out of the park and makes it memorable. From a lyrical standpoint I love the use of word play. I often use words with double meanings to enhance the feel and flow. I also try to be as vivid as possible, without being too specific. Meaning create music that has a feel,or picture, but can still be interpreted in different ways by the listener.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I don't believe fame or fortune defines a quality piece of work. Sometimes good marketing is what takes a certain artist to the top. I know plenty of independent artists that inspire me more than artists on the radio today. The artists I want to work with are the ones who are dreamers. The people who don't want to live a life doing the same mundane work every day, and are passionate to go after what they really love.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I will work on any type of music. I'm mostly familiar with alternative, pop, rock, singer-songwriter, folk, americana. However I am interested in writing for R&B, soul, rap, and country. I just haven't had the opportunity to write for those genres yet. Regardless, I'm ready to work!

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: I often receive compliments on my melodies and hook writing. I'm told my songs are so catchy and get stuck in people's heads. Which will help make your song memorable. I also write very creative/descriptive lyrics. I'm not afraid to do something new.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: The one thing I've never wanted to be in music is someone else. Anyone can just find another artist, and copy their sound and copy their style and become a sound alike. I bring open mindedness to every project, ready to create something no one has ever heard. I also know how to get a song finished. If you got deadlines to meet, I can meet them. I've written songs in crunch time plenty of times.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually try to make my process as collaborative as possible. No two projects are the same, and I want to make sure I truly understand the vision for the song, and any personal connection to it before beginning. I always start with an interview and conversation. Be ready for lots of questions about your vision! After I have the notes I need I get to writing/researching the topic. I usually write more than I need, and then edit it to fit the parameters of the song, and cut it down to "hit" length.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: The most common type of work I am involved in is lyric and melody writing. I have been known for writing catchy hooks and choruses.
