“I grew up in Chicago and was taught many styles of singing and playing. I sing mainly Jazz and blues which was very popular at the time.My dad RIP was a sax player. I write country, country rock, blues, jazz, folk and pop.
I have a seven piece jazz band covering all the jazz classics and I have been writing a lot in that style lately.
I’ve had over 200 songs recorded by other artists, then covered by others so it’s hard to know how many people I have written for!
Writing comes naturally to me. I can not go a full day without writing songs, stories, poems; it really doesn’t matter as long as I can write. I also work part time as a music therapist, with people who find it hard to communicate because of mental health problems.The change music can bring has to be seen to be believed. As Stevie Wonder once said “Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand.”
