I am a prolific lyricist (with melodies) and vocalist. I have written lyrics almost my entire life (notebooks of them). Adding depth to my words for impactful meaning, including vocal harmonization, and allowing variability in style, key signature, and rhythm are skills I bring into my music. I also enjoy adding lyrics to existing instrumentals and am happy to work with vocalists or bands looking for music they can perform. My released music, SPIT and Heroic Soldier are available at closertowild.bandcamp.com. I currently have a 4 song blues feel EP that is near completion; a rock with indigenous vibe 5 song album under construction; a 3 song rock/blues EP with vocals, melody at beginning stages. I would love to find collaborative musicians, drummers, and especially arrangement artists and techies to help me pull the pieces together. I am happy to help fellow artists in ways that fit my skill set!

Home Studio with drums, keyboard, mic and vocal recording set-up. Currently use Propellerhead Reason 10 as DAW and additional instrument sounds, but interested in expanding.
