About

I am a music visionary and professional with extensive experience across Pop, Rock, Americana, CCM, Soul/R&B, Gospel, and Family genres. I’ve earned GMA awards as an artist, publisher, songwriter, and producer, plus executive production and music supervision, an NSAI Songwriting Award, and nominations for Grammy awards, with Gold and Platinum records on songs, publishing, and production that have sold in the millions across multiple award-winning records. I’ve supervised music for family-friendly and film franchises like Veggie Tales: Jonah & the Whale and LarryBoy; I also curate, manage, and publish music across TV, film, and radio.

I’ve built and led publishing and production ventures such as Funkabilly Music and TNTX Publishing, taught music business at Dark Horse Recording Institute, mentored new artists, and developed talent. I’ve secured major label partnerships and collaborated with artists and recording management companies worldwide; my work spans music supervision, sync licensing, artist development, and creative direction across multiple genres and media, including television, film, animation, and live events.
