Entertainment Goals
In addition to talent, I am a very hard worker and dedicated and will continue working harder until I reach the top. I am deterimined and believe that artistically I can deliver a fresh sound that will crossover and have international appeal.
As a songwriter, I want to use my musicianship and love of strong melodies to keep writing and producing songs in different genres for other artists and theatre. I also compose instrumentals and another goal is to score music for film.
Overall, I want to have longevity in the business and keep working to maintain that position. I work well in taking initiative on my own, but also know it is essential to success to work well within a team to reach the top and I work very well within a team.
