SONGWRITER PRODUCER COACH

I have been living and working in Los Angeles for over 30 years, immersing myself in this vibrant world of songwriting and music production. I have 16 solo albums. Hundreds of my songs have been used in feature films and TV shows. At Sounds Dangerous, I work with songwriters and filmmakers to create music and sounds that connect with audiences worldwide.

As a coach I develop music, production and creativity programs for churches, universities, and companies like Apple, Line 6, AVID, PSP Audio and LinkedIn Learning. My aim is to support indie artists, content creators, and church teams by providing production services and personalized training that helps them succeed in their creative work.

LET ME HELP YOU WITH…

  • Our collaborative journey begins with a conversation. If you are open I’ll help you refine your songs and your unique artist’s voice. We’ll dive deep into your ideas, work on arrangements and sounds together and when we are ready I’ll assemble a creative team of musicians and singers, press the record button and turn your dream into a realty.

  • Let me introduce you to my songwriting process. R.A.W. Ready Aim Write is not just a strategy; it's a proven framework that streamlines your songwriting process and amplifies your creativity. With this method, you can focus your creative instincts, hone your craft, and produce songs that resonate with your audience, ensuring your voice is heard in an overcrowded market.

  • Your content deserves high-quality sound design and original music to support that beautiful story of yours. I have an eclectic post production team with years of experience in Foley, Sound Design, Original Score, and Final Mix. Together we can help your projects to sound amazing and help you make that emotional connection with your target audience.

  • When the vision of the local Church embraces creativity, music and art flourishes. By cultivating an environment that values artistic expression, we not only nurture local talent but also create a magnet for experienced artists, musicians, and creators looking to engage with a faith community.

    I can help you develop a program to create a thriving artistic environment where faith and creativity intersect, leading to vibrant expressions of music and art that reflect the heart of the community and beyond.

READY AIM WRITE

As an independent artist, breaking through the noise created by major labels requires innovation and strategy. After years of studying successful hit songwriters, I developed a method I call R.A.W: Ready Aim Write. This process is not just a framework; it’s a powerful tool that has transformed my approach to songwriting and allowed me to carve out a thriving career in the music industry.

Mentor Sessions

If you are a musician, a songwriter, a producer, a worship leader, or a content creator, chances are you are in need of a creative coach or mentor—someone who can support you and inspire you as you prepare for this next significant phase of your creative journey.

Typically, we start our collaboration with one initial session to get acquainted and understand your unique needs. If you want to make this a regular arrangement, then we can discuss a tailored schedule that works best for you. At some point in the future, we might also consider how I could be more deeply involved in your creative endeavors and projects. However, let’s take this process one step at a time to ensure we build a solid foundation together.

Produce my music

As an independent songwriter and producer, I know how tough it is to make music that stands out in a crowded market. Success is all about the details—how you write, produce, and present your songs. I believe every part of the song-making process is important. Well crafted lyrics and catchy melodies shine even brighter when paired with just the right chord progressions and rhythmic beats.

My talented team and I offer an extensive and comprehensive range of services, which includes coaching, producing, mixing, and mastering, all thoughtfully designed to help bring your unique musical vision to life. Not only does this multi-faceted approach assist you in honing your craft and advancing your career, but it also fosters the development of an enduring emotional connection with your specific target audiences, ultimately enriching their experience and engagement with your music.

writing songs for your local Church

My breakthrough as a songwriter happened when I began writing songs for my local Church. During this time, I created my own songwriting process that led to a major music publishing deal and a successful career. Songs like "All Honor," "I Walk by Faith," and "I See the Lord" became popular in Churches worldwide. Many people have asked me for years to create a course like this and here it is.

"Writing Songs For Your Local Church" is an in-depth Songwriting Workshop for anyone who truly wants to learn songwriting, especially aimed at crafting ‘hit’ songs for the local Church. It is tailored for musicians, vocalists, worship leaders, or anyone interested in improving their songwriting skills.
