I have always loved music and singers. I was influenced early on by the likes of Smokey Robinson, Sarah Vaughn and Johnny Mathis. Later influences included Al Jarreau, Luther Van Dross and Patty Austin. My first serious singing was college, when I heard the a cappella, close-harmony of the Krokodiloes. I sang second tenor with the group for 2.5 years and toured college venues throughout New England. After college, I returned to California to pursue a non-music career.
I continued to be drawn toward music and took performance classes @ LACC,Sherwood Oaks School & Newport CC. I performed @ open mics around Los Angeles and appeared in a dinner theatre review of 40's music. Those experiences encouraged me to apply my love for poetry and singing to songwriting. I studied lyric writing w/ Buddy Kaye @UCLA Extension, songwriting w/ Pete Luboff @ National Academy of Songwriting and an electronic music composition w/ Cris Koobatis @ Irvine Valley College.
These songs are stories of love, lust, and obsession written in the pop idiom with influences of R&B, rock, and jazz.

What time reveals to you!

Yes, we know love comes Straight From The Heart!
Straight From The Heart! Straight From The Heart!

Risk all for love, we must!
And now we know love is the best place to start.
Yes, we know love comes Straight From The Heart!
Straight From The Heart! Straight From The Heart!

Where else can we start? Straight From The Heart!
I woke up this morning, had you on my mind
I reached to caress you, the pillow all I could find
And then I remembered, I'm out on the road
Have to be tomorrow ‘til it's you I can hold.
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), Can't get you outta my head,
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), Thinkin' 'bout all that we said.
The pull of love, a twist of fate, oh Baby
I Can't Wait!
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), I been dreamin' of you.
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), I hope you're feelin' it too!
The pull of love, a twist of fate, oh Baby
I Can't Wait!
Oh Baby! Your love is so good! Yeah!
Oh Baby! Got me knockin' on wood. Yeah!
Oh Baby! I'd be there now if I could!
Oh, oh, oh, I Can't Wait!
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), I've been away for too long.
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), that's why I'm singing your song.
The pull of love, a twist of fate, oh Baby
I Can't Wait!
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), My heart set off an alarm.
I Can't Wait! (can't wait), Ooh, I'm cravin' your charms.
The pull of love, a twist of fate, oh Baby
I Can't Wait! Oh Baby,
I Can't Wait! Oh Baby,
I Can't Wait!
Now I've been around the world and there
Ain't Nothin' Better! Ain't Nothin' Better.
No, said there, Ain't Nothin' Better,
Ain't Nothin' Better, Ain't Nothin' Better than love!
Nothin' better than love. nothin' better than love!
I've owned expensive cars
Partied in upscale bars
Made countless wishes on endless stars!
Chorus
Hopped on a moving train
Jumped out a flying plane
Sang happy songs with sad refrains.
Chorus
Chorus
Sun comes up every mornin'
Stars come out every night
And what can be seen in the time that's in between
Get up, go out, live your life!
Seize The Day!
Seize The Day!
Don't let problems block you way,
Seize The Day!
Life is meant for the living
Twenty-four hours a day
And what will you do with the gift that's given you
Don't let your dreams slip away!
Seize The Day!
Seize The Day!
Don't let problems block you way,
Seize The Day!
No one is promised tomorrow
So you gotta figure out how,
Right here and right now,
What you want for your life!
Seize The Day!
Seize The Day!
Don't let problems block you way,
Seize The Day!
Seize The Day! You've got to be bold!
Seize The Day! Go for the gold!
Seize The Day! You're up to it brother!
Seize The Day! One way or another!
Seize The Day! Yeah! Yeah!

Let me hold you
Wrap my arms around you real tight.
Feel your heart beat
Burning passion all through the night!
I want you right here.
I want you right now.
I'm ready for love.
So please show me how.
Never wonder
If I miss you when you're away.
You're my reason
Twenty-five short hours a day!
'Cause Baby, it Feels So Right
When we're making love!
Oh Baby, it Feels So Right
When we're making love!
Left or right now
Got no clue 'bout which way to turn
Inside out. Wow!
It's for you I truly do yearn!
Please give me your heart
'Cause I gave you mine
I'll do anything.
I'll pay any fine!
I surrender
My whole mind, heart, body and soul.
You're the boss now.
You complete me; you've got control.
'Cause Baby, it Feels So Right
When we're making love.
Oh Baby, it Feels So Right
When we're making love!
I think, I wait, I contemplate the life I'd spend with you.
To have, to hold, as time unfolds and no one else will do.
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants
Yeah, My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
It's too good to be true; my dream shared by two!
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
A bolt from the blue! I want you!
In dreams, in hope, I barely cope. I ache inside for you.
With luck, by fate, am I too late? This longing burns me through.
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants
Yeah, My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
It's too good to be true; my dream shared by two!
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
A bolt from the blue! I want you!
Some men lust for silver
Some men trust in gold.
I know I must surrender
Before my blood runs cold.
Nothing lasts forever.
No good, no bad, no bold.
I can't deal with never,
My feelings must be told.
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants
Yeah, My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
It's too good to be true; my dream shared by two!
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
A bolt from the blue! I want you!
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants
Yeah, My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
It's too good to be true; my dream shared by two!
My Heart Wants, what My Heart Wants.
A bolt from the blue! I want you!
I can see me giving you my full start
Always wanting, always needing your heart.
Heaven tells me our love
Love, Love IS Forever.
I believe that you and I were meant to be.
In this moment, for our lifetimes, you and me.
Heaven tells me our love
Love, Love IS Forever.
You are the story I long to sing now.
Give me your blessing and you know
I'll give you all my heart.
All my love's for you!
Take this promise, make me happy. Right now!
Ever faithful, ever lasting this vow.
I swear, you'll see our love
Love, Love IS Forever.
Love, Love IS Forever!
Somehow they seem so long...
the days that you've been gone.
And now I see it was you.
You made our nights so sweet,
you made my life complete.
I've got to try something new
So tell me now,
what do I have to do,
to prove my love is true
and get you back by my side?
Work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
To get you back,
work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
I need to make it right.
To be with you each night.
To let you know how I feel,
that I'm a different man
here with my heart in hand,
and to your love I appeal.
So tell me now,
what do I have to do,
to prove my love is true
and get you back by my side?
Work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
To get you back,
work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
I was a fool to hide,
afraid to decide.
Baby, when I said that I didn't need you
sweet thing, I know I lied!
So tell me now,
what do I have to do,
to prove my love is true
and get you back by my side?
Work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
To get you back,
work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
Did I mention when I met you,
my intention to impress you?
You'd abandon all the other guys that you knew.
That's what I intended to do!
Have to tell you when I see you
wanna hold you. Need to feel you.
I give up on any other thoughts that I own.
You control me down to the bone!
I'm Moving Closer. (With determination.)
I'm Moving Closer. (With imagination.)
I'm Moving Closer. (With some dedication too.)
Yes, I'm Moving Closer to you!
Every night I dream about you.
Can't imagine life without you.
So I'm asking
let me show you all that I see.
Moving Closer
just you and me.
I'm Moving Closer. (With determination.)
I'm Moving Closer. (With imagination.)
I'm Moving Closer. (With some dedication too.)
Yes, I'm Moving Closer to you!
A long, slow walk with you on a beach,
the stars above are just out of reach.
The mood is right. We share the night.
We both know love's to good to let go.
A summer spent with you, making plans.
Country walks we took, hand in hand.
You gave to me so lovingly.
I took a vow to never let go.
Something Inside of Me touches a memory
whenever I can't be wherever you are.
Something Inside of Me is wanting you constantly
and all I need to be is
wherever you are.
And years from now when I look at you,
at all the things we used to do.
I'll see the nights, the candle lights.
A love so sweet will not lose its glow.
Something Inside of Me touches a memory
whenever I can't be wherever you are.
Something Inside of Me is wanting you constantly
and all I need to be is
wherever you are.
This love so deep in me, it touches my soul you see.
And I'll be yours; yes, I'll be yours the rest of my life!
Something Inside of Me touches a memory
whenever I can't be wherever you are.
Something Inside of Me is wanting you constantly
and all I need to be is
wherever you are.
I picked you up. You put me down.
I played it straight while you played the town.
We built our dreams, we made our plans
you shared our bed with some other man.
'Cause you just Want What You Want,
when you want it and just for as long as you want it.
You think it should make you feel good 'til you don't want it no more.
Then you're out the door!
I pulled you in. You pushed me out.
You made me trust when I had my doubts.
I took your words to be true but now I know
you lied to me too.
'Cause you just Want What You Want,
when you want it and just for as long as you want it.
You think it should make you feel good 'til you don't want it no more.
Then you're out the door!
You want it. You take it.
Can't fix it, so break it.
From Siren to Vixen,
my heart fell victim.
'Cause you just Want What You Want,
when you want it and just for as long as you want it.
You think it should make you feel good 'til you don't want it no more.
Then you're out the door!
A long, slow walk with you on a beach,
the stars above are just out of reach.
The mood is right. We share the night.
We both know love's to good to let go.
A summer spent with you, making plans.
Country walks we took, hand in hand.
You gave to me so lovingly.

What would I do, to look at you
every day of each month of each year;
to have you here, to keep you near?
I cannot walk, (No!)
I cannot talk, (No!)
without a picture of you in my mind.
I find no time.
I'm going blind.
It's not that you've been unkind or cruel.
It's just that I've been a typical fool;
hoping and waiting and wanting the moon.
Obsess On You, that's all I do.
That's all I do, Obsess On You!
Not when I eat (No!),
not when I sleep (No!),
is there a second or moment or
hour without you now;
I'm in your power.
So let me eat (Yes!),
oh let me breathe,
(Yes!)
and let me drink in the wonder of you.
Obsess On You, that's all I do;
that's all I do, Obsess On You!
Feel like I'm floating,
feel like I'm floating,
feel like I'm floating on air.
Is night my favorite color?
Is blue my favorite sound?
I cherish special memories when you're not around.
We danced until three,
down by the ocean,
just you, the sand and me.
Lost in each other and swaying in the breeze
time stood still
The First Time We Made Love.
The moon, the night, the stars;
that perfect evening we knew the world was
ours.
No words, no music, we marveled to the sound
time stood still
The First Time We Made Love.
In love, in love.
No lies, no games, no past to explain.
Just you, just me
and all that the night might be.
We danced until three,
down by the ocean,
just you, the sand and me.
Lost in each other and swaying in the breeze
time stood still
The First Time We Made Love.
I see a face. I hear a voice.
I'm looking back. I have no choice.
I barely survived what you put me through.
But now I'm Working My Plan to get over you.
Working My Plan and taking a stand,
that I'll be the man to get over you.
Isn't it strange what we forget?
What we remember, what we regret?
Could I not care? Would it be true?
But now I'm Working My Plan to get over you.
Working My Plan and taking a stand,
that I'll be the man to get over you.
All of these questions after so many years;
All of these feelings and the nights filled with tears.
Why won't they stop? How could they grow?
They're blocking my way now, so I'm letting them go!
And working my plan and taking a stand
that I'll be the man to get over you!
Somehow they seem so long...
the days that you've been gone.
And now I see it was you.
You made our nights so sweet,
you made my life complete.
I've got to try something new
So tell me now,
what do I have to do,
to prove my love is true
and get you back by my side?
Work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
To get you back,
work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
I need to make it right.
To be with you each night.
To let you know how I feel,
that I'm a different man
here with my heart in hand,
and to your love I appeal.
So tell me now,
what do I have to do,
to prove my love is true
and get you back by my side?
Work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
To get you back,
work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
I was a fool to hide,
afraid to decide.
Baby, when I said that I didn't need you
sweet thing, I know I lied!
So tell me now,
what do I have to do,
to prove my love is true
and get you back by my side?
Work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
To get you back,
work harder or work smarter or
Beg, Barter or Bribe.
More than the way that you say you love me.
More than your smile or the things you do,
I think I've gone insane and so I tell myself it
must be More Than You.
How could I fall without even knowing?
Surrender mind, soul and tender heart?
All you did was smile
and I have burned for you right from the start.
How could you steal without even trying
My hopes and dreams, captivate my heart?
Turn my world around
and make me yearn for you right from the start?
More than the way that you say you love me.
More than your smile or the things you do,
I think I've gone insane and so I tell myself it
must be More Than You.
More Than You.
More Than You.
It must be More Than You!
One by one, old Kinsey had us one through six
Plowing meadows or pounding bricks.
It's who we are just our little gift to give
We make the choice of how we live!
Lover, soldier,
Politician or fool,
Are you the exception or
The Rule?
Two by two, old Noah saved us from the drink.
And to this day, makes us think.
Now we should know that mankind has a common goal
Save the planet and save our soul!
Lover, soldier,
Politician or fool,
Are you the exception or
The Rule?
I spend my days yearning for connection
And what direction I need to turn.
But when the sun sets on my affection
My dream collection will have to do.
You got me, you got me
You got me, you got me
You got me hoping that I'll dream about
Dream about, dream about, hoping that I'll
Dream About You!
Oh you should know my every desire
Will never tire, they're all for you.
And as the sun rises ever higher,
My hopes conspire to see me through.
You got me, you got me
You got me, you got me
You got me hoping that I'll dream about
Dream about, dream about, hoping that I'll
Dream About You!
Love is what it is.
In our minds, in our hearts.
Love takes what we offer
It's gonna finish what we start!
You got me, you got me
You got me, you got me
You got me hoping that I'll dream about
Dream about, dream about, hoping that I'll
Dream About You!
The life of my dreams I have found here with you.
Fresh, filled with hope and a love clean and true.
I'll keep the faith and the trust that you give.
I promise you for as long as I live.
What a rush! What a joy!
(Falling in love with you.)
And to think, in a blink!
(That you had fallen too.)
What did I ever do?
(To make this dream come true?)
Now I can't keep the Smile Off My Face!
All I can see is the love in your eyes.
More than just hope. Every day's a surprise!
Take out the stars, shine them up one by one
I'll never rest til I get you the sun!
What a rush! What a joy!
Falling in love with you.)
And to think, in a blink!
(That you had fallen too.)
What did I ever do?
(To make this dream come true?)
Now I can't keep the Smile Off My Face!
Love wants to be
All that we see.
Treasured from the start
Treasured by the heart
Our hearts!
What a rush! What a joy!
Falling in love with you.)
And to think, in a blink!
(That you had fallen too.)
What did I ever do?
(To make this dream come true?)
Now I can't keep the Smile Off My Face!
Saturday and I'm flying high!
Kiss my troubles and my cares goodbye;
It's Saturday!
Forget my worries and put my problems aside.
I'm stepping out with my weekend stride.
It's Saturday!
No five a.m. mornings.
No six p.m. news.
I got nothin' bad
To give me the blues.
It's Saturday! It's Saturday!
Saturday and I'm flying high!
Kiss my troubles and my cares goodbye
It's Saturday!
No five a.m. mornings.
No six p.m. news.
I got nothin' bad
To give me the blues.
It's Saturday! It's Saturday!
Saturday and I'm flying high!
Kiss my troubles and my cares goodbye
It's Saturday!
I can see me giving you my full start
Always wanting, always needing your heart.
Heaven tells me our love
Love, Love Is Forever.
I believe that you and I were meant to be.
In this moment, for our lifetimes, you and me.
Heaven tells me our love
Love, Love is Forever.
You are the story I long to sing now.
Give me your blessing and you know
I'll give you all my heart.
All my love's for you!
Take this promise, make me happy. Right now!
Ever faithful, ever lasting this vow.
I swear, you'll see our love
Love, Love Is Forever.
Love, Love Is Forever!
Kisses in the moonlight,
Flowers in the spring
Heartfelt declarations
That make church bells ring.
Holding hands at midnight
Wrapped in our desire
Burning for each other
Consumed in our fire!
To give love.
To get love.
When It's Love
Can we ever give too much?
Got to grab the moment
Before our hearts go cold
We just have to take it
Fortune wants the bold!
To give love
To get love.
When It's Love
Can we ever give too much?
Moon beams or star light
Champagne or lust!
How will we know it?
Who can we trust?
To give love
To get love.
When It's Love
Can we ever give too much?
Chasing diamonds, chasing silver, chasing fame
I'm told endless wanting ever seeking
Is empty when you grow old.
Empty when you grow old.
Climbing mountains, crossing deserts
Sailing sea to sea. Why deny my deepest feeling?
I know where I need to be.
I know where I need to be!
All That I Want
All that I need, all I desire
Is right here with you.
Is right here with you!
All my money, all my houses
Fame I may possess. Don't even rate consideration
When I need your sweet caress.
And I need your sweet caress!
All That I Want
All that I need, all I desire
Is right here with you.
Is right here with you!
Dreaming of you every day.
Thinking of you every night.
Somehow it all feels so right.
I want your everlasting love!
All That I Want
All that I need, all I desire
Is right here with you.
Is right here with you!
I'm trembling and beaming
As we stand hand in hand.
Now and forever, I'll be your constant man.
To honor and cherish, til death do we part
I pledge to love you, I offer my heart.
Today, I promise I will always be true.
I Did, I Will, I Do
Promise my heart and soul
Not some, or most, but all;
To you complete and whole.
Here at this moment, I know this to be true
I Did, I Will, I Do
Love you, love you, love you.
I'm touched by your whisper
I'm inspired by your smile
Every moment seems to fit, it's our style.
Can't say I remember when we were new
But I do know I'm hopelessly in love with you
No way to explain it, I just know that I do!
I Did, I Will, I Do
Promise my heart and soul
Not some, or most, but all;
To you complete and whole.
Here at this moment, I know this to be true
I Did, I Will, I Do
Love you, love you, love you.
We learn as we live. We take and we give,
Commit and forsake, these are the choices we make.
I make mine gladly and I promise...
I'll be true to you as long as we both shall live!
I Did, I Will, I Do
Promise my heart and soul
Not some, or most, but all;
To you complete and whole.
Here at this moment, I know this to be true
I Did, I Will, I Do
Love you, love you, love you.
