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.

Lyrics
The walls of my jail are the walls of my mind And my fear is the lock on the door My eyes are the windows they only see out But then what would they see inward for? No happenings of wonder lie hid in my cell There's no thoughts there worth listening to For I'm trapped and my freedom's been taken from me Can you say you're a prisoner too? If you spoke, if you loosened the lock with your key And unleash your thoughts.... let them run free Would the minds of philosophers tune into yours Would the world be a much better place to be? There are secrets outside which my eyes can't behold There are sounds I am longing to hear But I'm only conditioned to lie in my jail And my constant companion is fear Aaghhhhhhh! How would you cope, free spirits, were you in my shoes Would you let out the scream of despair Would you run to your priests or psychiatrist friends Would you feel deserved of their care? For myself I know who is to blame for this jail I designed it and built it without aid And I need no assistance so long as I stay I'm alone but my soul's unafraid Yeahhhh! Only once when a voice called me softly to come And my eyes gave the voice misty face Then my sleepy companion, fear, clawed at my soul 'Til my eyes re-adjusted to space Do not waste your pity on one such as I I know more than you'd ever conceive When the view from my prison looks brighter to me I will grant myself instant reprieve. Yeah I would set myself free
