About Us:
Alan is Canadian but was born in
London, England. Like a million other
teenagers, he started playing acoustic
guitar and singing Beatles songs when
he was sixteen. He began writing
songs around the same time and he has
now written more than 300.
He started performing at solo gigs
with just an acoustic guitar, then for
many years was a member of a folk trio
called "Breakaway" tackling 3-part
harmonies on songs by the Eagles,
America, Poco and Simon & Garfunkel.
After taking a break to focus on his
business career, and a young family,
he sang and played lead guitar for
seven years in a very successful rock
and roll cover band called
"Platinum".
For more than 30 years, Alan has
written and recorded music, starting
on the kitchen table with a cheap
condensor microphone and a portable
cassette tape player. Over the years
he has steadily upgraded his home
studio equipment and he now records
everything digitally on a MacPro using
Logic Pro software. He plays acoustic
and electric guitars, piano and
keyboards but he rarely performs
anymore as he prefers to write,
arrange and produce music in the
studio.
He writes in a wide variety of styles
including pop, dance, country and
instrumentals (both club and theme
music). Any recording artist or
production company looking for
original songs or themes is invited to
contact Alan at:
