I have been writing songs and playing music for 22 years.  While I've been at it for  a long time, the last couple of  years have been critical in my development as a songwriter and producer. During this time, I have developed good connections in the industry .  Here's a sample of these endeavors:

-I produced/cowrote 8 tracks for upcoming UK artist, Kate Fletcher, including one song written by Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore's band members exclusively for Kate, as well as co-producing and assisting Kate with her co-writing and vocal tracks  with Grammy Award winner Jim Jonsin and his production staff, Finatic n Zac.

-I have two songs in the catalog of a Grammy nominated producer/engineer, and will be submitting several others in the near future to him

- I have pitched Philadelphia native and 15 year old artist Taylor Bright to several  labels.  Subsequent my efforts, Taylor ventured out independently and now  has a top 40 hit on the  Billboard dance charts, as well as being featured as a breakout artist for 2010 in ione of Britian's top music industry magazines.

- I have several songs signed to various music libraries for Film and TV opportunities

- I have had songwriting sessions upcoming with talented songwriters, some with cuts with the Backstreet Boys, Miley Cyrus, etc.

- I have working relationships with several labels and producers

  - I worked closely with Nashville TN band, Niacin Flush, securing a production deal offer with Lippman Entertainment, as well as helping create interest in their music at Hollywood Records.  I also helped finance their music video.

 -I wrote 3 songs with a singer in a girl band that was under management with Dick Scott (New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, etc.)

-  I worked with Israeli singer "Dina" and her manager who was signed to a development deal with a large record label (Helicon)

 

As a result of my work, Kate Fletcher is a featured artist with the A&R group TAXI:

Also, I introduced 15 year old Philadelphia artist, Taylor Bright to severalof the major  labels back in early 2009.   She currently has her latest release charting on Billboard Dance chart.  As of the first week in January 2010, Taylor is at #29
