Artist picture
English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
Wrote this lyric in about 30 mins one day...it kind of fell out whole and I was rushing to get it down on paper. The amazing thing is that Mark did not change a single word of it when he added the music...he is truly remarkable at capturing what I'd intended, without me having to say a word.
Lyrics
Devil by Dawn Sinclair Devil's got a long black coat he damns your soul, Face him up, he’ll cut you down and eat you whole Quote the words from Holy book his eyes will flame Try to please him, you will feel the heat of shame And the hounds of hell ‘r gonna chase you down til you beg for mercy with your nose to the ground Yeah the hounds of hell do the devil’s worst So you better repent for your evil thirst say yeah, say yeah, say yeah yeah yeah say yeah, say yeah on your knees and say your prayer Devil’s got the fiery flame to brand your hide Stand your ground, he’ll knock you down and you cant hide Call to the saints above he’ll laugh aloud Damn him in the name of love He’ll feel so proud And the hounds of hell ‘r gonna chase you down til you beg for mercy with your nose to the ground Yeah the hounds of hell do the devil’s worst So you better repent for your evil thirst say yeah, say yeah, say yeah yeah yeah say yeah, say yeah on your knees and say your prayer say yeah, say yeah, say yeah yeah yeah say yeah, say yeah on your knees and say your prayer
