English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Lyrics
Whatever Dawn Sinclair Music Dawn Diamond 1 Maternal as the morning light that glimmers on the sea And kisses every separate crest that rushes to the shore The first born child pats every sibling's head inclusively Her soft smile drips to each one's cheek before she shuts the door 2 Her heavy tread along the path, an echo of her heart She gathers all her courage to her breast and faces fore They peer through slats of shutters, see their favourite depart Then huddle as if icy fingers stroked their inner core chorus for whatever she is and whatever she has done they are her family each and every one 3 No incident in history has primed them for this fate Their sister's shame, still unexplained, is mighty; this they know Nor is there chance of her return, no leeway for debate For certain sins are coffin lids kept closed by nails of woe but whatever they are and whatever they have done they are her family each and every one 4. Without a choice, she walks away and never turns because Her tears spill hot, too long kept back to stem a bitter tide The new life cradled in her womb, her only comfort left She crossed the line and now her life is on the other side outtro though she can’t change the past, it’s for the future she must fight she chose to walk the walk of shame to give her unborn son his rights for whatever he’ll be, his life has now begun he is her family and what’s done is done
