Been playing keyboards since I was a child (1960's) but didn't begin composing till the early 80's with 99% instrumentals then the occasional song started to come forth and these days I write mostly songs with a preference to lyrics and arranging if I am working in a collab. Have been in a few bands that mostly just did studio work with my first stepsinside a real recording studio in 1989. These days I have my computer and work online with my mates via the web.
