DescriptionI've always been a 'multi-creative' in that I write comedy, ads, performed stand up, but my biggest passion (music) has my biggest flaw - i just can't seem to produce songs very well. I think I'm a pretty strong songwriter, through my network I've been working with a couple of producers to solve any lyrical issues they had, or take their track and come back with a badly sung full song concept, verse and lyrics. I'm often paid for this. I also send them some of my songs (usually performed on guitar or piano (very basically), and lightly mixed in logic (I'm learning) (I'm learning that I need a lot of autotune). I'd love to find producers who have tracks but need a concept, melody and lyrics. Song themes etc. I'd also like to just collaborate with people. Even if that means swapping poet recommendations with other lyricists etc. I've won over 100 'creative' awards (I put that in quotes as most are for writing -including songs and poems- for advertising) but also for film writing and directing. I'm happy writing anything from Damien Jurado/Poetic style through to dance-floor bangers. My strength is lyrical hooks. When writing from scratch, I'll often start with that and work out from there.

Dreams & AmbitionsI want to see how far I can make it in my passion. For years I was writing and badly singing songs, and one day my wife (who is often brutally honest on her thoughts of my creative pursuits) just said "If you don't send some of our producer-friends your songs, I will". So I did. And things happened. And I'm suddenly excited that I can get the songs in my head, into the world, sounding the same. And I'm excited when I land on a killer hook that I know will solve a producer friends issue. So I just want to see how far I can get doing that really. Not in a chasing fame or financial sense, but rather, could I actually spend my days just having the most fun possible?

Use of AII'll occasionally get ai to record a vocal of mine, as I hate my timbre, this is only for demo use. Iwe then re-record using a vocalist. However I have originals of all songs, melodies etc I've ever written, so i literally occasionally use it to test how a female voice might work.

Lyrics

Genres: Singer-Songwriter

Trip you when you walk
There’s something about the way you fall, 
I have to understand
the science that has led me here,
The universe be damned. 
the starlight’s keeping me awake
I watch you through the night
- count your twitches like rose petals 

Aye ay yi yi yo.
It's how it goes.

Freeze me let me stay
my rusting metal holds no tears 
I’m proud of the decay,
eat my carbon I don’t need it. 
I blinked for 20 years, 
I was young I am no longer  
listen, it’s okay,
reset myself and come back stronger 

Aye ay yi yi yo.
It's how it goes.

Trip you when you walk, 
just to watch you in slow motion. 
You don’t have to talk,
it’s written in your frown you know love 
I don’t understand
there is no guide, there is no manual 
we should form a band, and
spit the truth down on them all 


Aye ay yi yi yo.
It's how it goes
on Mapperly road.
