BIOGRAPHY

My Autobiography:

I have always enjoyed writing music as a young child. My mom owned an organ, and I would make up my own songs and play them for anyone who would lend an ear.

I am an aspiring lyricist. I have worked with various professional and aspiring songwriters which has been a wonderful and rewarding experince.

Currently I am co-writing with singer-songwriter Emma Rowley who at only 16 is one of the most professional and talented young artists of her generation. I have had the pleasure of co-writing with Emma on her recent song called I AM. I AM is a song that was written for a cancer charity called Fighting Faces. The song was also co-written by Bill Steins and Lori Wycoff and produced by Dan Hagen who enlisted some of Nashville's finest musicians to help create a very touching and inspirational song that everyone can relate to!

Robbie Robertson

As a member of The Band, Robbie Robertson changed the course or rock music history, hipping the genre to a more old-timey sound with songs like “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” His latest solo album, How To Become Clairvoyant, reflects on his rock and roll past.
