Biography:
Songwriting has always been a part of me, and now I am devoted to it. I've been doing it a long time and studied many genres up close due to an earlier career as a pro recording engineer for many years, mostly at large studios, including a very enjoyable 4 years at Battery Studios London UK (early 1990's on salary as in-house producer/engineer for the Zomba group). I'm an adept drum and synth programmer, ProTools HD operator, all-round musician/arranger/singer. I play half a dozen instruments pretty well and I love to write and sing songs. I'm just at the start of my education in video editing, and looking forward to making my own video content and building an internet presence.
