NEW CHAPTER
It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)
Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

ZOË
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
A song for my friend, Zoë. She’s always wanted a song written for her. Oldies sounding. She enjoys music that is decently old now, such as ‘Born Under a Bad Sign’ or ‘Love Potion No. 9.’
Zoë (Pronounced “Zoh Ee”) – She’s quiet particular about the E having the “two dots above it.” She really loves photography and art, and is actually good at both. She’s pretty straightforward, and generally seems to speak her mind. Also, she enjoys antique things, hanging out with her friends, and games.
She said that I deserved a trophy, for being me, and then said she was going to get me one, and recently, she actually came through and gave me a plastic trophy with chocolate in it, with a label saying “Super Duper Totally Rad/Gnarly Award goes to ~ED F~”.
We wrote a song called “Mr. Snack”, a song about reminiscing about a drug dealer named “Mr. Snack”, who smells like Blueberries. I tuned her guitar and played G Em C D7, and she said we needed to write lyrics. So she got paper and a highlighter which had “Snack” on it, which smelled like Blueberries, thus leading to the development of the lyrics.
This is from her profile on Facebook:”I like antique stores, horizontal stripes, baking and looking through old national geographic magazines. I am usually with a chick who wears too much olive drab.” – the chick who wears too much olive drab is our mutual friend Taylor.

PLAYING GAMES
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
I need a theme song for my gameplay series. I have been listening to Mumford & Sons a lot lately. Maybe something indie/folk. I don’t know if this would fit in to the style but maybe some 8bit accents.

RHITZY RHITZ
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
I’m looking to have a song written for my girlfrind for her 30th birthday in January.
Rhian loves 80′s music, dance music and some top 40 stuff. Her iPod has a lot of Kylie, George Michael, Janet/Michael jackson, scissor sisters, etc.
Rhian’s full name is Rhian Sioned Davies. Rhian is pronounced “Rhee-an” or “Ian” with an “R” in front. She is the youngest of three. Her family moved to quartile when she was only about 2 years old. They also told her she was left by the gypsies! = )
Rhian grew up on what she fondly calls the “north side”. An expensive and well to do part of Sydney that mostly refined people live in. However she now lives in the northern territory in “Darwin”
Rhian has also been known to impersonate crocodiles but then says “they can do it better than I can”
Rhian played international football. She was a defender and the team wore green and gold.
Rhian now works as a paramedic/ambulance officer, and they wear an ENTIRE outfit of dark green! (something about a green gerkin)
Rhian is also a massive scaredy cat! She hates scary moves and has been known to push others in front of her when faced with a threat…
Rhian’s most distinguishing feature would definitely be her laugh! It comes from the belly and can turn the head of anyone within a 100 metre radius!
Rhian can be messy.
She gives 150% in anything she does.
Rhian watches the same movies repeatedly but laughs like it’s the 1st time she heard the joke.
Some of the quirky things about Rhiannon include, but are by no means limited to;
* motion sickness – she is terrible on ANY mode of transport! She will vomit driving down a straight road with a slight curve, or the rocking motion of a train!!
* KFC’s “2′piece feed” – she likes to have her picnic and is incapable of conversation while she eats it
* hair twirling – she twirls strands of hair around her finger then flicks the end with her fingers. Getting her attention while she does this is like performing an exorcism. She gets in a trance and she’s gone!
Rhian often gets many a compliment about her tight backside (and plays up to it too!) and brings it out every time she hits the dance floor. It’s called “buun-gee shaking”
Can be quite emotional and will ALWAYS cry watching TV and movies! Even cried watching a McDonalds ad!
Rhian once performed in a drag show at a gay club called “ARQ” with friends. If you could include a reference possibly with “it’s hot in here” ( in a high pitched Women’s voice). Apparently Rhian had to say this and it came out really high!
Rhian also has fond memories of sneaking into “spicy friday’s” at the landsdown hotel for a quiet dance and a couple of drinks. Instead she was always hammered and stayed there till she was kicked out or too ill to stay.
Nicknames:

GETCHA KICKS
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
My girlfriend loves roller derby like it’s her religion, so I wanted to make her a song that glorifies her derby persona, Getcha Kicks”, and how awesome I think she is. Doesn’t have to be long or elaborate, maybe just featuring some rockabilly-style guitar. If you’re familiar with the Stray Cats, that’s sort of what I had in mind.
Getcha Kicks is a jammer, whose job is to pass through the pack without getting knocked down or off of the track and score points. They wear a star on their helmet and have to be fast as well as strong enough to take the hits from the other team’s Blockers. Some key jammer-related terms are “Booty Blocking” (using your butt defensively to stop the other jammer from getting through the pack) and “Lead Jammer” (getting through the pack first). Getcha Kicks’ teammates love her, and she’s got friends and admirers all over the world.
The derby team she plays for are known as the Derby Debutants, and their colours are pink and black. The team practices twice weekly, and they try and run drills on several universal derby plays, such as “eating the baby” (where the team absorbs the opposing team’s jammer and stops her from scoring points – I know, creepy name). The big tournament they aspire to win every year is known as “The Beast of the East”. Her teammates call Getcha “the juggernaut” because she tends to jam most often…
Lastly, her number is 76, which rhymes with her name. Announcers love it.

ADAM
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
I need a song for my boyfriend for christmas. I have no idea what to get him and I know he loves Street Fighter and eating Chips Ahoy cookies haha. I thought this would be perfect. A made-up song for him for christmas.
We are all about having fun and joking around with each other so a funny song would be awesome! The lyrics can be very fun and even full of puns if you want. Adam always makes crazy jokes too. Here are a few things that would be awesome in the song:
-He nicknames me Doris from True Lies because he thinks I look a little like Jame Lee Curtis, but I don’t think I do. His nickname is Toby (his parents were going to name him that but then they decided to name him Adam).
-We both used to work at Cedar Point, an amusement park, and that’s kind of how we met
-We both love playing videogames (we are both gamer nerds) His favorite game is Street Fighter. He always kicks my butt at Street Fighter but I can take him out in Tekken. :D
-I make fun of him for drinking Smirnoffs and I drink beer.
-We LOVE going to eat Chinese restaurants and Olive Garden.
-Nicknames: Mr. Rubs and Miss Bubbles
- He loves to say crazy things that he knows I can’t stand but everyone else thinks it’s hilarious.
- “Excuse me…..i faahhted”
