SEEKING

Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Soprano.

ABOUT

I'm a family man in my early 30's with a career outside of music. I am a proficient songwriter and arranger. Ideally, I'm seeking a Female Singer/Songwriter to collaborate with. Though I am musically creative I struggle with the lyrical and vocal element of songwriting. (I'm too analytical) Friends and fellow musicians describe my songwriting style as diverse, multi-layered and technical. For someone who has been piling up lyrics and song ideas, I have a lot to offer musically. I would like to focus on writing/recording material firstly, then performing.
