Hooks that stick to your ribs.

Track 03 · Porch Light0:00 / 0:21

Porch Light, sample lyric: I left the porch light on for nobody. Just in case the night forgot its keys. You said forever like a weather report. Sunny later, storming underneath. So I wrote it down in marker, not in pen. On a receipt from a Tuesday that never ends. If the chorus finds you at a red light. Sing it loud enough to crack the glass.

Red Light Chorus

Side A

What I write

Melody first, honesty second, rhymes only when they earn it. I work solo, in writers rooms, or on the couch next to you.

  1. 01

    Topline

    I hum until something sticks, then make the words honest. Send a beat or a chord loop and a feeling.

    Artists, producers
  2. 02

    Co-writes

    Happy in a real studio or on a couch with a single mic. Bring the rough idea, leave with a verse.

    Writers rooms
  3. 03

    Sync

    Film, ads, games. If the cut needs a heartbeat, send the temp track and the deadline.

    Music supervisors
  4. 04

    Lyric doctoring

    The song is nearly there but the second verse is not. I will fix it and tell you why.

    Any genre

Side B

How a session runs

Four steps, no mystery. You keep your voice, I keep the pen moving.

  1. Voice note

    Send a hum, a demo, or three words you cannot stop saying.

  2. Hook hunt

    We find the line the whole song hangs on before anything else.

  3. Draft

    Verses, pre, chorus, bridge. Rough first, then read aloud together.

  4. Polish

    Syllables fitted to the melody and a clean lyric sheet for the booth.

“We came in with a beat and a mood. We left with a chorus the whole room was singing by the third playback.”

Questions

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Most toplines start as a voice note and a video call. In person sessions are booked around studio time.

Who owns the song?

Splits are agreed before we write, in plain words, and written down the same day.

Can you write in my voice, not yours?

That is the job. I read your old lyrics first so the new ones sound like you on a good day.

Encore

Got a hook that needs a home?

Send the voice note. I will write back before the coffee goes cold.
