Jack Trudel is a Nashville-based songwriter and musician. A recent transplant from San Francisco, Jack is also a music producer and publisher. He has not only arranged and co-produced songs for indie artists and labels but secured co-publishing and licensing deals both in the United States and abroad.

To date, Jack has written over 250 songs, with emphasis on pop, rock, and country. Over 200 artists across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America have recorded his songs. These artists include Anita Prime, Toby Humstad, Makenzie Phipps, Keren Gaiser, Jason Phillips Band, and P.J. Bennett.

Jack’s Tracks have been performed in clubs and festivals, including SXSW. One song received radio airplay in 15 countries, while three were featured on a syndicated radio show in 21 countries. Another song appeared in the indie film “Killing Time” and earned recognition from Billboard’s World Songwriting Contest.

Born and raised on American Top 40, Jack started writing songs at age 13. His approach often begins with a title or phrase, which sets the mood, shapes the melody, and drives the lyrics. Many songs lean into subtle humor and wordplay—layered with irony, satire, and the occasional double entendre.

Blending a storyteller’s eye with a wordsmith’s touch, Jack’s Tracks include a diverse catalog of radio-ready songs, indie recordings, and unreleased material. While music and poetry are distinct art forms, Jack combines infectious melodies with poetic lyrics to connect with readers and listeners alike.

I started my career in the early 1990’s, singing in many of the clubs in my home state of Massachusetts before moving out west.

I signed with my first major label band in Los Angeles called ‘The Constant’. We recorded two albums together, both of them mastered at Capitol Records by Robert Vosgien.

I sang on the all-star album, Dreamworld, with the band Rage of Angels. My Producer was Kane Roberts (Alice Cooper). One of the songs that I wrote, With the Beating of your Heart, made it on the UK, Russian, and Japanese releases with Tommy Denander playing guitar.

I co-formed the band Electric Messiah. Our album was recorded at Desert Moon Studios (Danny Koker) with Oz Fox (Stryper) and Michael T. Ross (Lita Ford, Missing Persons) and produced by Pat Fontaine (XYZ).

I co-wrote, sang and toured Europe (Hirax, Raven) and North America (Sanctuary, Iced Earth) supporting two albums with Kill Ritual. Both albums, Karma Machine and All Men Shall Fall, were mixed and mastered by Andy LaRocque from the band, King Diamond.

Former Lead Vocalist for A Rising Force. I recorded the second album, ‘Eclipse’ at Winterland Studios with them. It was mixed and mastered at Brian Bart's Logic Studios and got signed to Dark Star Records (Universal/Sony). Our first song release and video was for the song ‘Believe’.

I am the Lead Vocalist for Alchemy Fire with Tom Schofield (Soil), and Paul Wright (Exocet). Our self-titled album will be released in 2022. Mixed by Ulrich Wild, and mastered by Alex Psaroudakis. You can hear the album on our website as well as a video of one of our songs called Alchemy.

Part of the rock music scene since he was a teenager, Alexandre Santos is best known for his work and composition with the Portuguese melodic rock/metal band Scar For Life (2008–present) and for his collaboration with other established heavy rock musicians in the bands D.N.A. (2013) and Stagma (2018–present). Alex also established his own recording and production facility, PressPlay Music, in 2008 for which he has mixed and produced several albums.

Alex formed Scar For Life in 2008, alongside Marco Resende on vocals, Daniel Cardoso (now in Anathema) on drums and Sophie (Understream) on backing vocals. Aiming to create a brand of hard rock ‘from the most vitriolic, groovy assaults to soft acoustic pieces, and with a penchant for memorable hooks and vocal melodies’, the band’s debut album, Scar For Life, was released in 2008. 

In 2010, Scar For Life released their second album, It All Fades Away, and again songs were composed by Alex and produced at PressPlay. Two years later, Scar For Life’s third album, 3 Minute Silence (2012) was the band’s most ambitious work to date. Joined by vocalist Leonel Silva and drummer João Colaço, 3 Minute Silence explored a heavier and more melodic form of rock and featured guests such as violinist Anne Vitorino d’Almeida, Finnish singer Kari Vahakuopus (Catamenia) and British keyboardist Ged Ryland (ex-Ten).

In 2013 Alex formed his first collaboration, D.N.A., with vocalist David Reed Watson and lead guitarist Neil Fraser (both Rage of Angels), bassist Mikael Carlsson (Lover Under Cover) and his Scar For Life colleague, João Colaço, on drums. To celebrate their five year anniversary, Scar For Life released a compilation, Retrospective, with a new track featuring Neil Murray (Whitesnake) on bass and Neil Fraser on lead guitars. Scar For Life promoted the compilation with live performances in London and Portugal.

Singer Rob Mancini and Teen Asty (guitar, bass) joined Scar For Life in 2014 to record the band’s fourth studio album, Worlds Entwined. Released by Escape Music and mixed by Swedish producer Martin Kronlund, the epic new work featured songs composed by Alex and special guests such as Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio) and Mikael Carlsson. In August 2015 Scar For Life opened the Portuguese heavy metal festival Vagos Open Air, alongside such bands as Black Label Society, Destruction, Overkill and Within Temptation.

Late in 2015, Alex approached Neil Fraser (TEN) on lead guitars, Joe Petro (Heaven and Earth, Spelled Moon) on bass and drumming legend Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) to form a new heavy rock collaboration, Stagma. Alex composed eleven new songs from his studios in Lisbon, and Vinny laid the foundations for the album by recording seven tracks at his studio in Los Angeles. In the fall of 2016, Joe Petro and Neil Fraser joined Alex at PressPlay Music studios in Lisbon to record lead, bass and rhythm guitar, and drummer Patrick Johansson (Yngwie Malmsteen, W.A.S.P.) laid down four further tracks from his studio in Florida. In March 2017, Alex composed an additional song featuring drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio, Queensrÿche) and in August 2017, Irish singer Rob Mancini (Boneyard Dog, Scar For Life) joined Stagma as the vocalist and lead singer. The album was mixed and produced at PressPlay in Lisbon and the first single from the album, ‘Pokerface’ was released on 16 October 2017. In spring 2018, three further singles, ‘Bounty Hunter’, ‘Promise Me’ and ‘Rocket Machine’ were released and Stagma’s debut album was released internationally on 6 April 2018, featuring an introductory track, ‘Genesis’, and closing anthem, ‘To be continued…’, from Commodore 64 gaming composer Jeroen Tel (Maniacs of Noise).

In 2019, Alex created Architects of Rain along with his old-time friend Bruno A. AoR is the new Berlin-based-Lisbon-originated project, playing instrumental post-rock, while still venturing much further beyond those barriers. Ghost Notes EP was recorded and will be released in 2020.

Happy Saturday Everyone!!!
