Songwriting for Artists, Film/TV.
Songwriting for artists, film/tv. Widely versatile, open to almost all genres including: pop, modern country, crossover, pop/dance, singer/songwriter, power/pop, synth/pop, alt & indie rock, R&B, timeless and classic styles over new sounds & grooves; also top-lining and writing to spec. I'm a strong melodist and enjoy working with artists, strong lyricists, producers, music supervisors and industry professionals to meet project needs.

Lyrics
Behind Bars (Boutros, Kweller) CHORUS: My best friends are behind bars They know a thing or two about good times They pour drinks all night like superstars [CHORUS 2: Theyll cheer you up if you got a heavy heart] My best friends are behind bars VERSE 1: Theres two-steppin Rosie Puts your mind at ease She learned her moves in the Florida Keys Shell mix a margarita with her magic hands Then shell chase away your blues with a dance, cause (CHORUS 2) VERSE 2: Well Johnny Bs as tough as a two-dollar steak Yeah, hes breaking up brawls when hes on break Hell share a laugh, tell a story bout casting a line Before you know it, youll be having a damn good time, cause (CHORUS) BRIDGE: Whoa, theyre entertainers, bouncers, counselors, and shrinks You can talk to them about any damn thing They know all about life, and its alright So set em up, Joe away we go! (SHORT SOLO) VERSE 3: Well theyll play you some Willie or some rock and roll If this joint was a jail, Id never go for parole So heres a toast to the ones that keep the spirits rolling And the good times going on and on and on, cause (CHORUS) My best friends are behind bars (3x)
