LATEST DEMO:

"Ask Me About Emily"

I love lyrics...

I grew up studying the liner notes of every album I could get my hands on. In high school, I wrote my favorite lines on paper bag book covers (remember those?). My passion for writing my own songs ignited in college, and I moved from New Jersey to Nashville soon after graduation. I have never stopped writing even though life has taken me to different cities and down winding roads in marketing, education, and corporate training. I am now lucky enough to focus on songwriting and draw upon my many years of life experience to tell honest and emotional song stories.

I am proud to be affiliated with BMI and am an active member of NSAI and SongTown.
I founded a publishing company, Pipe Dreamer Media, and am a perpetual student of guitar and production. Although Northern New Jersey is currently home, I also keep pieces of my heart in Nashville and Chicago and visit both cities as often as I can.

More Loves: family (especially Jacob), listening to sad songs on repeat, baking, Tricky Trays, coffee, pizza, Target app, gardening, statement earrings, Nothing Bundt Cakes

Releases

Peter Sawyer

Peter is making his mark as an indie artist in New Jersey while still in high school! It has been so much fun to be a part of his songwriting journey. Producer Pat Van Dyke took this song to the next level!

Never Been Better Than This

Christian Parker

Christian is a rising star out of Texas. He and his producer, Sal Oliveri, really brought this one to life! I've loved this song since the day it was written with Aaron Goodvin and Randy Morrison.

We Sang

Kanin Wren

Kanin is an incredibly talented singer-songwriter from Michigan who is currently a senior in high school. We wrote this with another superstar senior, Delaney Faulds, and it's about Kanin's first real heartbreak.

Could've Been

April Cushman: The Long Haul

April is a true artist and powerhouse vocalist. I am honored to have co-written the following songs on this incredible album:

Ain't No Stopping You
North Carolina
Come Clean

Kathryn Anderson: Black Sheep

Kathryn's blend of classic country sounds with modern themes makes this album easy to love. We had such a good time writing this song on the grounds of Centennial Park in Nashville.

Stay

Amanda Penecale

I am absolutely in awe of Amanda's talent. Her voice is so pure and transcendent. We wrote this song with Kathryn Anderson and Carlin Mayes as a tribute to moms, and Amanda first released it around Mother's Day.

My Mama

Daniel S. Terry

I love the memory of writing this song with Dan at the Music Mill (NSAI Headquarters) in Nashville. He is a prolific writer out of Michigan, and his energy is so contagious!
