LET’s COLLABORATE
AS A SONGWRITER & VOCALIST I LOVE TO EXPLORE WHAT’s POSSIBLE
Songwriting + Vocals for Performance + Recording
Over the years, I’ve learned that some of the most meaningful musical moments happen in collaboration—with friends, strangers and people whose sound pushes mine in new directions. Whether live or in the studio, I love helping shape songs that carry weight—lyrically, emotionally, and sonically.
Looking for a collaborator? I bring…
Songwriting: Melody & Lyrics – Honest, layered, and emotionally resonant writing that often explores time, memory, loss, love, and personal transformation
Vocals – A voice that’s been described as “a fresh-from-the-dryer blanket feeling instrument,” warm and expressive with indie-folk and alt sensibilities. Also able to ebb and flow into different genres such as rock, pop, country, jazz, r&b, musical theater, classical and more
Performance & Recording – A background in live performance and studio recording with over two decades of experience as a frontperson and co-writer
I’ve collaborated with producers, composers, bands, songwriters and artists—from building full songs from scratch to layering harmonies and writing melodies over pre-existing arrangements.
I’m available for…
Feature vocals on tracks
Co-writing or top-lining songs
Voiceover, harmonies or ambient vocal work
Live guest performance or studio sessions
Scoring / sync projects
If you have a project in mind or are just curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.

“…truly mirrored what I feel is the sound of Stratton. Carefully and crew craft a beauty of a cover with strolling percussion and hazy springtime vocals – a perfect mix in my books.”

Walks with Purpose + Half A Length
“Brunswick is a film about landscape change, told through the personal story of a farmer’s lifelong connection to his now-threatened land. The film weaves together the plight of Sanford Bonesteel, an aging farmer in his 90s, with the dynamics of small-town politics as a residential development is planned on Sanford’s former land.” - Songcoustic
