ARTIST Terry Dring

I write music / lyrics of all types (pop, indie, rock, instrumental, children's, scores, advertising etc) and play many instruments. Performing and producing several albums alone in the spare bedroom. I've written / produced quality work in many styles on request (others have urged me for years, to pursue a songwriting career, rather than my steady job) and am confident I can consistently write enduring and lucrative songs for a mutually ambitious publisher who wants a genuinely talented and hard working writer on their books. I believe I can provide timeless songs in whatever styles are required. So contact me if you don't already hear the type of thing you're looking for in my selections here. I love a challenge! All my amazingtunes tracks were made at home, on the cheapest instruments & multitrack available. So please bear in mind technical & instrumentation limitations (e.g. a semi acoustic for everything, as no electric guitar and a 'kit' of one cymbal, tom and biscuit tin snare, played cross legged on floor!) and imagine what might be, if these songs were performed professionally by an artist in a studio. Also, note I've simply posted what I thought most likely to receive attention here, not my best songs. I'm no A&R man though, so may be wrong? As I said before, please contact me if you're a publisher looking for a certain type of track. I'm certain I can write it for you (if I've not got just the thing already).
