I have been a hobbyist, amateur songwriter for many years with a modest home studio production set up. I've written many songs for local, amateur opportunities, or just from personal inspiration. I have been inspired to pursue publishing by my singer/songwriter daughter's involvement in the local music scene here in Arizona. I am hoping to collaborate with a producer for royalty compensation from songs successfully published. Producing is a slow process for me and hinders my songwriting since I will get stuck on one song I'm producing and stop writing new songs.
