LYRICS
VERSE1
Many nights before I go to sleep,
I wonder ‘bout the day and what I’d change.
Feelings and memories that I wish to keep,
And those that were new and strange.
CHORUS1
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble, but we can disagree.
Who lifts me up. Who calms me down.
Who’s lots of fun, and who I want around.
Who? A friend like you? Who?...
VERSE2
Planning for changes in my life,
Looking for new skills and thrills,
I want to rise up to challenge myself.
A future in this world.
VERSE3
Travel the bumpy road,
And navigate the twists and turns,
Would be no fun to do it alone,
But to share what I will learn.
CHORUS2
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble, but we can disagree.
Who lifts me up. Who calms me down.
Who’s lots of fun, and who I want around. 
REFRAIN
I need a friend who inspires me.
Who is humble. Who cares for me.
Who? A friend like you!

HELLO ALL, I'VE NOT BEEN ACTIVE ON THE CLOUD FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I SHALL HOPEFULLY BE PRODUCTIVE IN THE FUTURE. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN UPLOADING JAM TRACKS ON YT https://www.youtube.com/@Heavenlyvine. ONCE I AM CREATING ORIGINAL MUSIC AGAIN I SHALL START SHARING MY WORK. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE VISITED, MUCH APPRECIATED :)))
I've been writing original songs for a number of years now and recently started adding some acoustic covers, it gives me a nice feeling to know that other musicians and listeners give their time to listen to my humble offerings, so thanks to you all in advance for giving up your valuable time to check out my musical creations. 

My Sound cloud name "Heavenly Vine" was taken from the first song that I wrote called "Timeline" it seemed like the perfect way to conjure up an artist name for this great musical platform.

When I started writing music I took inspiration from my family as I wanted to leave some sort of legacy when I've shuffled off this mortal coil, what better legacy than a musical one.

All of the original music that I have created on this page has come from my heart and soul and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to know that someone might get some pleasure from my music, especially loved ones.

It's great to be part of this great musical community, we may be many minnows in a huge pond but together we make up one huge fish.   

Best wishes to all.

Colorado Songwriter, Electronic Musician, Producer. ASCAP member. Ballads, Dance, Rock, Electronica, Jazz, Hip Hop, with a mix of everything else. All original compositions with live artists on most tracks. Piano study began at 5 years old, continued through university study and incorporated with electronic music since the introduction of MIDI. Have taught, consulted and composed electronic music. Primary platform is Pro Tools, with which I also do training and consulting. Open to collaboration. More information at my website.

Welcome to my page.

I appreciate all the comments, likes and repost that you leave me in my compositions.

I make music for fun and to get away. I have multiple styles, although my biggest influence is in electronic music.

I am self taught and learned with Music Studio 2 on a first generation ipad 11 years ago. I have never composed before. Perform more than 80 songs a year for the first 6-7 years to learn about the program and develop creativity to compose. I have listened to different types of music throughout my life and maybe that has helped me.

I still compose only with an ipad (last generation), but I no longer work only with native MS2 instruments since I have expanded my instrument library with programs such as Audiokit, Digital D1, kv331, Sunrizer, etc ...

My music can be downloaded, but not used for commercial purposes (my authorization is required).

During the last two years I have encouraged myself to collaborate with professional or self-taught musicians like me. Are these:

Annie Smart

Dan DT

Loue ghazi

Lukowig

Mirjam Keijnemans

Nathalie B20

Subzero

Vicent

Winkanwoo

Wypernet

Wonderful music from contemporary composers who love the art of making music.
