A little background...
I've been writing songs all my life, a couple hundred of them have aired on TV shows, and dozens have appeared on albums, stage, and a wide variety of audio products. As Director of A&R at Rhino Records, I oversaw the production of more than 60 albums as Executive Producer. Currently, I head the A&R Team at TAXI, the world's leading independent A&R company, offering songwriting advice to TAXI's 11,000 members.
