MY MUSIC
Started as a staff writer for the Phillips Organization (Sam Phillips was the founder of Sun Records and included such artists as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and many others) and my first royalty check came from a song I wrote “Georgia Sun’; Eddie Lanehart and the Stax band performed the music.
Moved to Los Angeles and I worked for 4 Star Music and Ellary Hearn. 4 Star Music had the mega hit ‘Please Release Me’ by Englebert Humperdick. I began cutting dubs for the major recording companies such as Arista and Motown and transcribing lead sheets for major music publishers including E.M.I. and Cherry Lane Music.
At the moment I am producing all types of music and soundtracks for the entertainment industry.
