Songs
A legal disclaimer
I've always been drawn to songs that tell stories—songs that reveal something about who we are, how we see ourselves, and the sometimes surprising ways we respond to life's challenges. I'm fascinated by the contradictions in human nature: our ambitions and insecurities, our capacity for love and regret, the stories we tell ourselves, and the choices we make. Whether I'm writing a poignant ballad, a comic character song, or something darker and more psychologically complex, I want the music and lyrics to work together to reveal something that words alone cannot express.
My musical influences range from Broadway and classical music to jazz, rock, and pop, and I enjoy drawing on all of them. I particularly love writing songs that give performers something to do; an emotion to explore, a character to inhabit, a story to tell, or an unexpected laugh to deliver. Above all, I want to create songs that connect with audiences while giving singers the opportunity to make each song their own.
Privacy Policy - the basics
Here are my original musical theatre and cabaret songs that tell stories, stir emotions, and bring something fresh to your repertoire. Whether you're looking for something touching, thought-provoking, or delightfully entertaining, you might just find your next favorite song right here.
Monsters Beneath My Bed
A one-act play in a song. As a child, the monsters beneath the bed are terrifyingly real, with claws, teeth, and glowing eyes. Years later, those childhood creatures have disappeared, replaced by the very real fears and responsibilities of adulthood.
Early Autumn
A woman confronts the unsettling realization that her own spring and summer have passed. But a glance in the mirror reminds her that autumn has its own beauty—and that there are still plenty of leaves on the tree.
Contest Degenerate
An uptempo comedic solo sung by a bored housewife who gleefully confesses her obsession with entering every contest she can find. From cereal box sweepstakes to radio call-ins, she revels in the thrill of the win—and the ridiculousness of it all. It’s quirky, energetic, and full of shameless fun.
Do You Still Think of Me?
A tender, bittersweet ballad about a love that has ended but never quite faded. Remembering the small, intimate moments of a relationship now lost, the singer wonders whether the person who once meant everything to him still occasionally thinks of him—or whether he alone continues to carry the memories of what they shared.
I'm Not Really Dressed Without a Man
A saucy, flirtatious musical-theatre comedy number about a woman who loves men, romance, and the thrill of the chase—but has absolutely no intention of settling down. With a wardrobe full of glamorous accessories and an ever-changing assortment of admirers, she cheerfully celebrates her independence, her appetites, and her conviction that no outfit is complete without a man.
It Will All Work Out
An upbeat, feel-good anthem about resilience and optimism in the face of life's unexpected setbacks. With humor, determination, and an irrepressible spirit, the singer reminds us that storms don't last forever, there's always another chance to reach the brass ring, and sometimes the best way to get through life's troubles is simply to keep singing.
There Won't Be Any Band
A tender, reflective song about finding love later in life. Where youthful romance once arrived with trumpets, choirs, and grand symphonies, mature love offers something quieter but no less meaningful. Without fireworks or fanfare, the singer discovers that companionship, understanding, and lasting devotion can create a beautiful harmony of their own.
To Have Had a Son
A deeply moving dramatic ballad about a mother confronting the unimaginable loss of her son. Through grief, anger, and memories of the joyful child he once was, she gradually comes to a profound realization: despite the pain of losing him, she would never surrender the years they shared. A song not about overcoming grief, but about discovering gratitude for the privilege of having loved—and having had—a son.
