About
I've been writing songs and instrumental music on and off for most of my life. My songs nowadays tend to focus a lot on melody and can sometimes be a little complex. I'd like to pare them down a little and make them more catchy. I also struggle a little to write lyrics that I'm happy with so would be keen to work with a lyricist.
