Songs

I have been actively writing and pitching songs and competing in songwriting competitions.

A few days ago, a film producer contacted me and requested that I send him my Master Tape. I’m in the process of preparing it now. It’s for a big film. Wish me luck.

Thanks for hanging with me through the years.

Hi Everybody

We’re re-working some songs from our catalog and I’m writing songs all of the time. I pitch our catalog on a regular basis. During these difficult times there are fewer opportunities so I’m patient and doing what everyone else has to do and going with the flow. Stay safe.

Hi Folks - I have been writing lots of songs during this Covid19 quarantine but it’s taking a lot longer to get them produced and a lot longer to get them heard. Everybody is backed up. We’re also redoing some songs in our catalog and we’re still pitching songs aggressively. I hope this finds you all well.

Hi Folks

We just got our second song picked up by a major Nashville Publishing firm which specializes in film, TV and ad placements. Both of these songs were re-produced by a producer from Toronto, Canada and they sound great. I got another one back from this same producer yesterday which sounds very competitive and I will be actively pitching it. He will be doing one or two others in a short order.

It’s very expensive to get songs recorded so they sound as good as what you hear on the radio. That production level is the bar for entry. Publishers don’t really want to hear demos anymore as they want full fledged recordings. That is the price we pay to be in this business.

Hello Everybody

I have been writing new songs and my focus these days is to try and get exposure in film and TV. Just the other day, I pitched a song to a filmmaker and he loved it. Hopefully, I will get an opportunity but you don’t know until the film producer sets the song up against scenes of the film to see if it’s a good fit. Films go through so many changes in post production.

I’m still working with Jon Statham who performs and produces most of my songs. Jon recently moved from Nashville to LA and we are in regular contact.

Yesterday, I pitched five songs for a new film project. I'm constantly seeking out filmmakers and trying to get songs in films. To date, we've gotten songs in three documentaries and an Indie film. It's a very competitive business and I appreciate your support.

Hi Folks

I've been very busy pitching songs to films and TV. We have placed songs in three documentaries and we recently signed three songs to an Imdie film seeking distribution in LA.

Thanks for your support.

Thanks for being on my mailing list. Recently, we have gotten songs in three documentaries and now an Independent film in LA starring Judd Nelson and Lydia Hearst. I'm actively pitching our catalog.
