I am a song and music writer, I am not in a band and cannot play a musical instrument but I can write music and lyrics to fit, some people like them and some people don't, thats the way it is.
I live on the Gold Coast Queensland Australia and turned 50 in January 2010 and have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, my first and last.
I have sold some songs and have been told "the cheque is in the mail" and the people that have the songs and recorded them and released them made money, thats life I supose. I feel a lot safer dealing with Broardjam than dealing direct.
