For the past 35 years I've been creating "signature songs" for a wide variety of performers and producers, featuring lyrics and melodies that immediately grab listeners... and stand the test of time.

After graduating from Stanford University, I was mentored by Doc Pomus (This Magic Moment, Save the Last Dance For Me). My first song placement shot to #6 on the Billboard Dance Chart, and since then I've had hundreds of releases, including hit singles on the Dance, Pop, Adult Contemporary and International charts, 300-plus placements in film and TV, and collaborations with luminaries such as Nile Rodgers and Cyndi Lauper. You can check out some of them by clicking the links below.

Along the way I also penned two songwriting guides, and coached thousands of aspiring writers through the ASCAP Foundation, NYU Steinhardt, Gotham Writers Workshop and privately. These days I'm back to being laser-focused on pure writing — songs, books, scripts... FUN!
 
Like my mentors and the people I admire most in the arts, I'm 100% committed to making this world a better place using whatever talents I've been given.

Thanks for checking out my site, and I look forward to hearing from you!
