"I've worked in radio and TV... (producer, engineer, on air, jingles, themes, parodies, for Fox, Espn, Walt Disney,and also have put out a few rock, pop, singer-songwriter albums over the years... a few tours... the club scene...) but for the most part, I am a songwriter. I am a BMI writer. My publishing company, Songs In A Nutshell, is made up of my commercial releases" J.S.

Joey Salvia/Songwriter (BMI)

As a songwriter, I like exploring different genres (Rock, Pop, Folk, Country, Americana, Parodies, Satire, Roots Rock, Alternative, and more). I've been working in the entertainment business for many years... and in many ways. In the end, I'm a hopeless songwriter who lives the life he writes about. Before working in radio (on air jock, producer, jingle/parody writer, engineer, and music man for 1050 ESPN NY, Fox News, WABC NY, 92.7 WLIR LI,NY), my band, The Montgomery Cliffs, toured the states and recorded a few albums for various labels. In recent days, I've released 3 solo efforts: "If It Ain't Brooklyn, Don't Fix It" (includes very early demos), "Long Lost Weekend", and "Haunted". I'm lucky to have been able to work with so many talented people over the years (on stage, radio, TV, studio, etc).
