About

  • I'm a songwriter looking to collaborate with other like-minded songwriters.
  • I'm a songwriter who wants others to record my songs.
  • I'm a lyricist looking for musicians to write music to my lyrics.
  • I'm a singer who writes songs. I am looking for musicians/composers/producers to help complete my songs.
I'm a singer-songwriter and guitar player based in New Bern, North Carolina with an emphasis on songwriter,that's my passion and my forte. I have lots of original material but most of my songs are still in the bare-boned guitar and vocal stage and need to be filled out. So a technically oriented producer-arranger would be an ideal collaborator for me. I'll upload examples of both fully produced songs of mine from the past and guitar-vocal songs that still need to be filled out. As a songwriting partner I wouldn't mind partnering with a composer so I could focus on the lyrics (which I think I'm really strong at) but I write both words and music.

Lyrics

Santa Catarina Girl

Pop, Rock, Folk, Singer-Songwriter

South of the Tropic of Capricorn Buff mountains bow before the prettiest beach Far from the desert where I was born On sands of gold under fiery skies of peach Her impossible beauty now within my reach I knew the moment that I first saw her That my life would never ever be the same Her aura as strong as Brazilian surf Her sultriness like the salty ocean rain Her name Santa Catarina Girl Voce e muito bonito Deep eyes of Escorpiao I'm lost in the sea of In the eternal deep of My Santa Catarina Santa Catarina girl She breathes the passion of the tango Deep inside her roars a red-hot burning flame She reads my psyche like the cosmos A world class interpreter of the stars by trade My sweet ambassador to the Milky Way Her name Santa Catarina girl Voce e muito bonito Deep eyes of Escorpiao I'm lost in the sea of The eternal deep of My Santa Catarina Santa Catarina girl Her name makes sunshine out of the rain Holds the mysteries of the age Ethnicity and cachet Brazil, Italy and Spain All contained within her name England, Portugal, USA All contained within her name Her name Santa Catarina girl Voce e muito bonito Deep eyes of Escorpiao I'm lost in the sea of In the eternal deep of My Santa Catarina Santa Catarina girl South of the Tropic of Capricorn Buff mountains bow before the prettiest beach Far from the desert where I was born On sands of gold under fiery skies of peach Her impossible beauty now within my reach

This song was written and recorded in 2012. I wrote and sang it and had a great producer who arranged it and great musicians who played on it.
