Song I wrote for a end credits of the upcoming documentary "The Wave I Ride: Paige Alms' Story".  It's a Devyn Bisson film :) Check out the trailer here: http://thewaveiride.com.
It was cool to get to channel such an incredible woman and surfer like Paige Alms to make this song!

Credits: Kirk Howe on guitars, percussion. Patrick Tafua on ukelele. Danny Herrera on bass.  Richard Williams Mastering. 

The Wave I Ride

My first original theme song! I was recently hired to write this song for a radio sitcom of sorts that is in the works. The main character is named Anomaly because she  is born with 6 fingers. The theme of the show is sort of embracing what makes you different. Credits: Danny Herrera on guitar, Nate Young on drums, bass, and engineer. Recorded at Modern Audio in Utah! 

Anomaly (Original Theme Song)

My senior year of high school I got rejected from my dream college without much of a back up plan. I was really sad but decided to adopt the phrase of religious leader Joseph B. Wirthlin "Come What May and Love it" and found that with this attitude, everything worked out.  I  co-wrote this song with my brother Tanner Howe, and it became the feature song of our 2nd CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/comewhatmay2

Credits: Recorded at REAMP studios with Daniel Martin, Scott Morton, and Kirk Howe. 

Come What May (Original)

Remember "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the Beach Boys? This is sort of my version of the same idea. I wrote it day-dreaming about how great it would be to really love someone and just be together. I've learned there's a lot more to it than that, but waking up to "Misty Morning Kisses" and having my best-friend with me all the time, really is the best thing in the whole world :)

Eliza Smith, Richard Williams and Nate Young came together to create the song "Live or Survive" with the Hunger Games movies in mind. The idea is that there comes a time when we must either fight for a chance at really "living life" or give in to circumstance and simply "survive." 
Features: David Price on violin, Eliza Smith and Taylor Miranda on vocals. 

Lyrics: Live or Survive

I hear the call, but will I listen 
Flames pave the sky in the distance
I know my place, but should I stay?
Something in my soul craves resistance

One by one, they drop and fall
Hiding beneath already broken walls
Watch it burn to the ground
Ashes of freedom never to be found

CHORUS:
Traitor to the truth inside
Can you stand tall against the tide?
Will you put your hands in the sky?
Or curl them into fists and fight? 
Live or survive
 
Gotta pick a side
Can you hear them calling?
Can't waste time
Revolution falling
I will not stand by

Courage at the core
Go before the fear sets in
Stronger than before 
Never let your faith give 
Live for something more

CHORUS

I hear the call, but will I listen
Something in my soul craves resistance 

Live Or Survive (aka Hunger Games Song)

This is the evil villain song for a Super Hero Musical. I wrote this song with Richard Williams in our songwriting class. This features the vocals of Jed Jones, and Richard Williams on Piano and Drums. This was such a fun silly song to write! 

Foiled Again (Villain Song for Super Hero Musical)

This is an original I recently worked on with Richard Williams. The inspiration came from a songwriting prompt on a site called TAXI, and it was one of those songs that just all flowed at once. (Seriously, 2 hours max!) Definitely a contemplative song focusing on what it means to grow and be human :).

WHEN I'M OLDER (Original)

Cover of Thinking Out Loud performed with talented guitarist Skylar Hansen! This is audio from a live performance we did together at the BYU Radio Stage Show 2016.

Thinking Out Loud (Live Acoustic Cover)

I just finished working on a project for Glee Music Academy in Lake forest recording individual parts for their "Glee" style choir to make it easier to learn their songs. As these songs recently consumed my life I thought I would splice some of them together and share this medley with you :). 
Medley Order: Swinging on a Star, Penny Lane, Taylor the latte boy, Dear Future Husband,  Faith, I'm in Love with a Monster, Geronimo. Special thanks to Tanner Howe, and Habib Miranda for helping me get these done!

Also, if you know kids in the area that would be interested in being apart of this academy, check out their website! https://www.gleemusicacademy.com/

Glee Songs Medley

This was such a fun song to write with my group TREN! A really great pump up song, featuring the vocals of Nate Young.

Coming After You by TREN

This is a jingle I wrote for "Health Food Farm" when I first entered the commercial music program nearly 4 years ago. Definitely a rough draft, but I'm going to be work on making more fully produced jingles soon, and I wanted to have this as a very basic reference. Special shout out to Adam Rallison for helping me with this back in the day!

Health Food Farm Jingle (Rough Demo)

This is a song I wrote with Richard Williams for a commercial opportunity asking for a modern Americana sound. So fun to get to write in a this genre! Featuring John Lane on vocals, and Skylar Hansen on Guitar. Extended version coming soon!
