Newcomer Resume

I’ve been writing songs on the side for 10 years (while working full-time in IT, not music). I’ve played approximately 16 meticulously crafted songs with various bands and groups, and I have about 10 more ‘in the drawer.’ The fully developed songs have been performed at different private events but never reached a wider audience, as I’m not part of musical circles due to my programming background. It has been my big dream for many years to (a) record my material with professional musicians and perform it in front of a larger audience (and, of course, give the necessary finishing touches to B-sides to make them ‘performable’), and (b) bring my numerous ideas for crossover electro-jazz-pop to life.
