#songwriting

My friends and I took songwriting very, very seriously. My hero was and still is Bob Dylan, but also people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and that whole generation. ↗

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day. ↗

With acting I am being led by the script, other actors, the director, etc. But with songwriting I feel it is much more self reliant and allows me to be in the creative experience without being as dependent on others. ↗

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare. ↗

Songwriting is too mysterious and uncontrolled a process for me to direct it towards any one thing. ↗

It's nice to finally have a CD out which reflects my songwriting, my singing and the band that I have. ↗
