I like co-writes where ideas can flow freely. Where each voice is heard and each thought is considered — not just for a good vibe and fun times, but to help make each song the best it can be.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter drawn to hooks, phrases that turn, and a little play-on-words — tongue-in-cheek, but with enough tenderness and care to capture the energy of a bar on a Friday night, the bedside of someone you love, and the long drives to nowhere.
New titles in the works — 2026
A woman who's done being told to "shake her tail." She flips it — the only thing she's wagging is hell. Empowerment with teeth: scorn, attitude, and a warning the whole room sings back at the top of its lungs.
"I'm gonna start with the dishes / like I'm granting seven wishes / gonna move onto the laundry / while you find us a movie…" A guy serving the woman he loves — no agenda, no ask, nothing wanted back. Just her night to relax. The title is the hook. Does she drift off with her comfy clothes on?
"Got a big hat and I'm standin' real tall / don't know much about country at all…" A self-deprecating wink at the genre and at myself — close enough to the trucks-and-tailgates formula to be in on the joke, far enough to know better. The chorus is the payoff. That part I'll save for the room.
A double-entendre singalong — "I like making guys come, I like making guys go, sometimes I say yes, but I love to say no." She's the one in control, and the wordplay is the whole grin. Built for a packed bar shouting the hook back.
Some are funny. Some are tender. Some are trouble. The best ones usually get better when the right person walks into the room.
“A great song feels like it was written just for us.”— Scott Quillin
