I am an avid student of music and have done countless case studies on successful musicians. Daily, I have been studying unconventional writing methods in screen writing, writing novels, Ad copy, standup comedy and any external methods that can be utilized for songwriting.

I hit the songwriting wall about ten years ago. I watched every YouTube How-To video available, read endless books and articles, and found that nobody was teaching the thing I wanted to learn the most. How to interchange every single word in a lyric line until my songs sounded completely unique. Not only that, how to write new combinations of rhythms and melodies that weren't just copies of everything else on the radio.

This is when I noticed how funny my favorite songwriters were (Chester Bennington, Dave Grohl, Layne Staley, Corey Taylor). So, I started watching and researching standup comedy every night for the past ten years. In doing so, I learned the power of imposing unalike facets of a subject, recontextualization of key details, and restructuring formal and informal language to state opinions in a unique way. Great song lyrics aren't communicated with perfect grammar, they are suggestive with broken wordings.

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to teaching you everything that I have been working on for the past 23 years!
