BIOGRAPHY Having failed music in high school, I was determined to overcome this failure by writing a song. What followed was a passion for the lyrical art of music. With an obvious flair for creative writing, the first song came with ease, and the next, and the next. Growing up with country music in my ears, my passion for writing was enhanced by the creativity of Jim Steinman (meatloaf's writer) and the guitar stylings of Mark Knopfler. With newly found business knowledge and skills, my ability to read a market has become exceptional. With the passion and confidence evident in my background (resume) I have no doubt I will see my music reach incredible heights. |

GOALS The first step it is to get our music into a presentable state. As we do this, we will generate a network of friends and listeners via You Tube and My Space. We will then enter some songwriting competitions, and finally get a show ready to live our dream and do some gigs as muso's. In realising that we may be past our prime, the underlying goal as a songwriter is that an established artists will become interested in use of these songs, or even a songwriting collaboration. |
