Profile information

About

I studied music to degree level and have been writing songs as long as I can remember. I can play guitar and sing well enough to write but have no ambitions to perform. I am looking for co-writers to work with on new material as a way of improving my craft and then finding opportunities for the music to be pitched to artists, musicians and publishers. I am mostly inspired by country music, the Nashville sound and songs that tell a story. I love to write ballads and lyrics full of emotion.
