I'm a two-time Lennon Award-winning songwriter. My focus:the mid-20th century sound of Vocal Jazz, R&B, Pop. Highlights: One or more of my songs being placed by Multi Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Shane Stanley into his soon to be released "romcom"; co-producing is Academy Award winner Paul Williams. Multi-Platinum songwriter Shelly Peiken's comments about the unanimous top-spot choice in the UK Songwriting Contest's 2016 Retro Category: "'I LOVE YOU MORE' [girl group pop] is the winner for me. Retro, yes, but it also feels very original. Charming.” Channeling the early Beatles, “DON'T GO AWAY” has played world-wide over the last 20 years & also is featured in the feature film "Donovan's Echo." The award-winning UK pop/soul group, The Enlights, have lent their voices to many of my tracks. Most gratifying to me: studio musicians' remarks about my "ear" and how refreshing my songs are to play, or a vocalist/adjunct professor who has used my songs as songwriting models for her classes.
