Welcome to The Blue Songbook, a portfolio of original songwriting.
I'm a storyteller first and foremost, and it's my hope that my music is a reflection of that. My influences are extremely varied and range from indie, folk, pop, funk and all the great singer songwriters. I play and record piano and guitar. The lyrics, the tempo, the chord choices and progressions, the melodies, the genre and the song structures are all my creation. Full disclosure, I'm using AI for the vocals to create a neutral showcase, and they sound a lot better than me!
Why Blue Songbook? Because Joni Mitchell's masterpiece 'Blue' was one of the first albums I bought and had a profound impact on me.
These original songs are available for singers, vocalists and recording artists. Each one is a writing sample that could be developed, recorded or reinterpreted by a vocalist.
All the recordings here are intentionally stripped back. I am showcasing my writing: lyrics, melody and composition.
Enjoy listening and get in touch if you want to collaborate!
Feel free to contact me. I'm happy to help any performer/musician who is just getting started!
Have fun listening.
