About
I'm a singer, guitarist, bass player and keyboard player. I'm university educated (music), and I studied classical music and improvisation. Most of my time at university was spent learning classical voice techniques in an effort to become a more confident and knowledgable singer. My real love is singing and writing contemporary music (like folk, pop, rock, country, and experimental). I've played in a lot of bands over the years (all of which were great fun but never took me anywhere outside of artistic success), and I currently teach music in the public school system. I'm looking for artistic fulfillment, the chance to create beautiful sounds, and the chance to create words that resonate.

Hello Jamie,

I’m a lyrical writer with a surprising number of country songs in my catalog, especially for a guy that’s never been on a horse! Below, please find my posting:

275 songs in catalog, or I’ll write just for you! Strong rhyme schemes, tight, poignant, adventure topics. I’m a freak about lyrical rhyme cadence. (Genres: Country, Folk/Roots, Celtic, Christian, Rock) Favs: Prine, T.T. Hall, Cohen, Lennon/McCartney, Taupin. I’m a serious, responsive writer… and I hope you’ll think that I do it well. Support background: I’m a semi-retired marketing executive, served on the faculty at the RI School of Design, published 3 children’s books and played in the RI Highlanders Pipe & Drum Band. Easy to work with, rapid response and fun! Compensation is not a driving factor, split 50/50 if revenue streams. Member BMI and Songwriters Guild of America. Remember, it costs nothing to chat!

Jamie commented on a sound
I was rooting around this site, looking at my potential collaborators. I saw your sound link and gave it a listen. Great work! I like the rhyming scheme (and the lack of rhyming). Keep writing!
Jamie
Under the Stars
