About
- I'm a lyricist looking for musicians to write music to my lyrics.
I'm a semi-professional lyricist who is looking for a composer/multi-instrumentalist to work with. I won a first place award, "Best Original Song for a Short Film" (along with the composer)in July 2020 at the LA Film Festival and 3rd place in the Las Vegas Film festival the following month. I also have several songs that have played on radio both nationally and internationally. I've been writing lyrics for over 20 years and have mainly worked with composers from England, Denmark, and The Netherlands. I do admit that I prefer working with someone who writes alternative, shoegaze, rock, singer/sonwriter, indie and some pop but I'm willing to consider other genres. My favorite groups are The Cure, Depeche Mode, Coldplay, Train, and of course Bowie, as well as Sleeps Under Beams, the artist that I have most recently (currently) written for. I currently have 50+ songs in my portfolio. Though I usually work lyrics first, I can also write lyrics for songs where the music is written first. I'm looking for someone who is serious and dedicated, who wants their music to go places. Thanks for reading!

Dreams & ambitions
My main goal has always been to express myself and have my words be heard. All of my lyrics are heartfelt and tell a story, whether that story be about a moment or a lifetime. I currently work with a partner and we've had our songs heard worldwide, and I intend to continue that relationship, however I've written so many sets of lyrics (I'm always writing) that it's hard for one person to keep up with. I'd rather those lyrics be given life that sit stagnant and gather dust.

Lyrics
The Future Stole
Indie, Rock, Singer-Songwriter
Verse I
You just can’t give your heart to another
When it’s no longer yours
Captured by some other
In a game of love and war
Tugged by angel’s breath
Against devil's advocate
Ah, but push pull attraction
Between polar opposites
Chorus
Nothing more, nothing less
Than a game of chess
Played by pleasant torture
And some say
Ignorant bliss
Blessings or a curse
Every disease
Healed by a cure
When one is all knowing
But the other never sure
Verse II
Eyes can’t drink in another’s beauty
When they are held blind
A black velvet mask
Tied true by hands of divine
But hands still you’d hold
Fiery hot or freezing cold
Even if that touch bruised you
In its grasp your future stole
Verse III
Arms pinned behind one’s back never hold
When heartstrings bind wrists
Fine as spider web
Spun in Avalon like mists
Offered chest exposed
To blunt knives or love’s arrows
Both cause a bleeding heart
That cripples all tomorrows
Chorus repeated
Ending
Nothing more, nothing less
Then a never ending game of chess
That steals our tomorrows
For the win
