ABOUT

I have no trouble writing lyrics but can't seem to come up with original melodies lately - I'd like to play with other musicians and combine our strengths, especially pianists/keyboardists, drummers, harpists, violinists, cellists and male vocalists. I find songwriting much easier when we have an idea of how something will sound from the start rather than when I write alone on an acoustic guitar and have to try to imagine the production I want.
