Songwriter Biography
I am an Australian songwriter. I began writing poetry in the early 1990's and then after years of child rearing, started writing again in 2005. I wrote and self published a poetry book called "Love, Passion, Despair". After launching the book, I had several readio interviews in which I received positive feedback, I was often told my poems sounded like songs. In April 2006 I submitted 3 of my poems changed into songs to a demo company in Nashville USA. After 3 months I received the demos and have submitted each song in the "American song of the year" contest. One of the songs was "runner up", another was awarded "Honourary Mention". I submitted 2 other songs to Paramount Song Contest in Nashville USA and received a Directors award for each. The song "My Sanctuary" was recorded and put on a compilation CD called "Catch a Rising Star" and was made by "Paramount Group" in Nashville USA. I am currently writing songs and entering contests. My songs are all written from my life experiences. I write about love, lost love, betrayal, passion, despair, poverty and injustice. I also write spiritual songs. My aim is for people to hear my songs and words and that my message will touch the feelings in those who would relate. I am also willing to write or negotiate on songs I've written, if there is anyone looking for new material.
On a personal note, I'm also a mother of 6 children and have 8 grandchildren so I've been putting my songwriting off for years, now is my time for me.
I have some video/slide shows that you can check out on youtube
