I get folks now and then who ask me why my blog is primarily geared towards music for film and TV, and why almost all my music is instrumental. Some people think it’s because I can’t write regular vocal oriented pop songs, but the fact is that for over 20 years that was the only type of music I use to write.
I’ve always been more comfortable writing melodies than lyrics. However, some of the best pop and country songs I’ve written have been with co-writers who excel in writing lyrics. So that’s why I tend to focus more on instrumental pieces when I write alone. As for writing for TV and films, I love the freedom that side of the industry provides. I have always enjoyed listening and playing all different styles of music. Rock, Latin, Pop, Country, even some classical or orchestral tunes. Writing for film & TV allows me to experiment with all those different genres.
