Right Now
I am very excited to announce that I recently signed a worldwide music publishing deal with mega-publisher Warner Chappell Music! I plan on having much success, many hits and lots of fun making music with them! http://spotlight.warnerchappell.com/?tid=322
March 2014: Just finished demoes of several new songs started at the end of last year on a trip to Italy sponsored by my friends at Warner Chappell Music…very excited about them… I was lucky enough to score a couple of tickets to the Oscars…will wave to you from the red carpet!
Also recently: Due to overwhelming demand – ok, 2 or 3 requests – I posted “After The Rain,” the end title song which my partner Allan Rich and I wrote for the film “Playing For Keeps” with Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel, on the “Music” page of this site. This is the demo; the final film version is not available for posting or purchase. And it’s me singing – so don’t be haters. We are very proud of this one, hope you like it too. The Melanie Amaro record which I wrote and produced had been scheduled for release in early 2013 but was put on hold…welcome to the music biz. I recently ran into Melanie and her brother on the street in Hollywood and they were talking about how much they love the song. The Tenors CD featuring my song “Vinceremo” and released here in 2013 won a Juno, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy. The Tenors opened their recent PBS special with a gorgeous rendition of the song. Bollywood singing star Sonu Nigam’s CD is due to drop soon, with another song I wrote and co-produced. The musical theater version of “The Bodyguard” is a bit hit in London; Allan Rich, my cowriter on “Run To You”, the Oscar-nominated song he and I wrote for Whitney in “The Bodyguard” film, saw the play and raved…apparently it will be coming to Broadway in the next year or so.
A little further back: Had the first single on Australian “The Voice” star Rachael Leahcar’s CD and the comeback single by Right Said Fred, “Sxaholic”. Also a cut on Tony award winner Heather Headley’s album. Yanni to record at least two and possibly three songs, including one with Dancing With The Stars diva Katherine Jenkins…major Russian artist Ani Lorak and Netherlands star Glennis Grace just released songs of mine as their singles…and various other European, Asian and Russian/Georgian cuts coming up…
My song “E’ L’AMORE CHE CONTA” recorded by Italy’s superstar Giorgia hit number 1 as did her CD.
Even further back –
9/2/11: Had a blast last night doing on-air radio interview/panel about hit songwriting-it’s online at Samm Brown’s “For The Record” http://sbrownkpfk.com/ in the “Audio Archives” section…
8/30/11: Signed a worldwide song administration contract with peermusic, a great company…
8/15/11: Poland’s “Dancing With The Stars” hostess and recording artist Katarzyna “Kasia” Skrzynecka’s CD just came out with two of my songs…
7/18/11: Check out new song major Polish Idol star Hania Stach just cut, “Bez Ciebie” (in English, “Everything And More”)…on Home page. My Polish isn’t that good but I still love this version and she sounds beautiful…
6/29/11 – New feature story on me published by Audiosocket: http://hosted.verticalresponse.com/330545/6ed1399e1c/1433001142/d676f51cf6/…Did an interview on 6/23 with Cool Change Radio host Bradley Quick – lotta fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4Awr7ROCgE…The new Sweetbox CD was just released with my song “Bulletproof” on it. It’s going to be the next single….Thank you Charice and Toni Braxton – your recent records with my songs “The Truth Is” and “If I Have To Wait” keep selling worldwide, and I keep getting royalty checks.
Life is good.
