If you know anything about me it’s this: I am a compulsive songwriter. I’ve been writing an average of 10-15 songs a year since 1976… Over 400 songs to date. They cover all topics, from love to kid songs to songs written through the eyes of characters in my imagination. In the 1990′s I added drumming and storytelling to the mix just to further complicate things )

In my early 30′s I found myself unable to perform the hundreds of original songs that had chosen me to write them… I began to paint. I discovered to my relief a new perspective based upon the fact that I did not have to “perform” the painting. If someone liked it or not, it was really up to them and I had no attachment or need for applause or praise.

I was able to return to music with a lot more lightness and less stress.

In 2012 I’ve begun work on my 3rd musical. It’s called “Soles” and it deals with issues of bullying and teen issues of self medication with drugs and alcohol as well as cutting and suicide.

In 2006 I was asked to write a number of songs for a Musical Called Letters To Daddy which was featured in the 2009 New York Musical Theater Festival. That led to a collaboration with award winning Playwright Jill Jaysen called “BeautyFull.”
