More than anything, I'm an avid songwriter. I write songs ranging from pop/rock songs similar to the Goo Goo Dolls to piano ballads to hard rock and borderline metal at times. I DON'T have any interest in projects that include a screamer instead of a singer. No matter how great the song grooves and how cool the guitar riffs etc, a song has no melodic hook if the singer is just burying his face in a microphone and screaming througout the song.
These days, I mainly just write and record my own songs as time allows. I outsource the drums, sometimes the bass and sometimes the lead vox if it's out of my range or abilities.
