LoginBiography
I am a songwriter, vocalist and music producer. I've been singing in the choir and cantoring in Catholic churches for over 40 years.
At age 40 or so, I started writing some poetry to relate to others my human and spiritual conditions. Ten years after that, I became enabled by Mac music software and started mixing multiple tracks to make songs. I have been setting some of those poems I wrote to music. I have been writing new lyrics, too.
No lack of juice for me at age 56.
Raising a family of seven children with my dear wife, working as a graphic designer for nominal pay, singing with the church choir and cantoring have all shaped the sort of songs I write. My style is declamatory. I place a huge emphasis on voice in the song mix, and try to deliver the words clearly and with ethos, logos and pathos.
I recently started playing guitar while singing for church services in front of a live congregation of worshippers. I couldn't do that sort of multitasking previously. Getting the acoustic guitar amped in a pleasing way that works for both picking and strumming is also a huge challenge.
Please check my collaborative song cycle or "opus" with David Gómez Sanz who lives in Spain. http://www.hungryforheaven.com
