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

A: 10 years.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is pop. It has so many flavors though from R&B to rock to singer-songwriter etc. That's why i love the word "pop" because it encompasses EVERYTHING these days.

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

A: Madonna. She's an icon and I think that our energies would create something very powerful!

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Never say no to trying an idea. It could absolutely NOT work, but it could also be THE thing that makes the song. I've had so many producers say to me in a room, "ahhhh, broooo, i dunnooooo....i don't think that's going to sound good." And then two hours later, they try it and USUALLY its a good idea that ends up making the song better. Sometimes I'm wrong though but if you don't try, you never no. No idea is a bad idea.

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

A: Everything but pop is my strong suit

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: Songwriting and singing.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: 10 years of professional experience. I got my first record deal when I was 24 with Virgin records and I have been writing professionally ever since. Also, I always leave a piece of my experience as a human in the song. I don't force something. I always want it to be "authentic" and for that to happen, it's takes inspiration but also perspiration. An idea is only just an idea until it's realized and shaped and molded and revised.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: It varies depending on the project I'm writing for. When i write for myself as an artist, it's never the same process twice. When i'm writing for other projects, I tend to put myself in the headspace for what I'm writing about and become a chameleon and figure out what the song/track wants to say. I honestly feel like my brain shuts down when I'm "in the zone" and i just sort of "extract" the idea from outer space or my unconscious or the Universe. I'm always mystified once a song is finished by how it actually just appears from thin air. IT really is almost Magic!

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Prince, Michael Jackson, Elton John, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Madonna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Tori Amos, Miguel, Max Martin, Dianne Warren, Greg Wells Writer's Producers:
