I am a music career development consultant for new and aspiring artists and songwriters and the author of a new reference handbook for singer/songwriters, called “The College Of Songology.”

Talk to me about my mission and my passion is to demystify the complex and confusing world of the music business as it relates to the new or aspiring singer, songwriter or performer. I want to keep “Music” in “Music City.”
