I’ve been creating music for many years. I enjoy most styles of music and helping others with their music endeavors including writing, playing, recording, mixing, and mastering music. I believe anyone can create music… and almost anyone can learn to sing well. Everyone starts at different levels with different capabilities. I started learning music as a Freshman in HS with almost no music talent or knowledge. As a Senior in HS, I had a few lessons from Mrs Patterson (singing and piano) and went on to do an independent study in music (and art). By the time I was in college (Georgia Tech as an Electrical Engineer), I was writing and performing my own songs. I had the opportunity to room with other musicians and launched “Under the Couch” (performance and recording venue on GT campus).
Joseph (my son) and Caroline (my daughter) both have taken an interest in creating music. They also have many very talented friends who have come over to record. Joseph started his music efforts at age 12 when he asked for a cell phone. I said he could earn one by publishing 6 songs on iTunes. Six years later, we published 6 songs on iTunes, and he earned his cell phone. Caroline has also been playing piano, singing, but dabbles in art and photography.
Below are some of the songs I took the time to record and upload. The different version numbers on the song typically represent different mix/masterings that I created. Most of the songs haven’t been mastered since that takes more time.

Chrissy has a lot of natural talent. She is very creative and wrote and performed (vocals, piano) these original songs (2012). Â I created most of the music, mix, etc. Â Many different versions / styles were attempted with her music. Her “introduction” song is a good example of how you can change the feel of the song by changing the music / effects / mix.
