Welcome to my Promoted Artists page. Starting to fill up with details of some really talented people but still room for lots more!
I’m going to promote lyric writers, musicians and bands on this page. I hope this will include people that I have worked with on the Kompoz and MuseSongWriters websites but I’m happy to receive requests from other artists too. 🙂
Musical Charities
Hope for Homeless Heroes Hearts
I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a group of musicians and lyric writers who have come together across the Internet to create a Christmas charity album. Its purpose is to raise money to support homeless veterans in the United States, and the specific charity is the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.
Stephen Kalpin has been the brainchild behind this great endeavour and has created a website to promote the album. Please check the album out and buy it or at least some of the songs that are on it. The song I contributed to is called ‘I’ll stand for you‘.

She has played in many different venues, perhaps most memorably the famous Cavern in Liverpool, and her shebang of alt.pop delight has been played on BBC Wales radio station among others.

Jamie Shea
Jamie is a singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His musical versatility is reflected by the fact that he writes and performs across the jazz, folk, blues, garage and psychedelia genres. His website’s bio states that he ‘writes songs that need to be written’ and crafts ‘melodies and lyrics that vibrate in sympathy with shared human experience. Shea takes a sensitive and contemplative approach to the frailty and grace of love and loss while singing with such soft affection as to soothe the very emotions he expresses.’ And that’s just the poetry that’s gone into his bio, so you should definitely check out the songs on his website and on his Spotify page!
Morgan King
Morgan began his musical career as a drummer in Manchester band Illustration. The group signed to Some Bizarre Records when the song “Tidal Flow” was picked up to feature on the Some Bizarre Album. It was the same album that saw the first tracks by Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, The The and Blancmange. Their song was selected as track 1 on the fish side and they went on to have their second release produced by Martin Hannett at Strawberry Studios. During this period he also worked with Mike Hedges at his Playground Studio.
Over the years he has various pseudonyms including Clubland who had 3 top 10 billboard dance hits winning a Grammy. As Obiman on the seminal Cafe Del Mar album. He also appeared as a solo artist on Northern Exposure and Cafe Mambo. In 2012 he joined Lene Lovich as part of her band which lead to a collaboration with her for a new Obiman track “The Dunes” released in 2016. The same year he released his 1st solo album “Grains & Grams. He is presently touring and writing his 2nd solo album.

Skuve are a talented band whose members hail from the UK, Sweden, and the US. Their style is eclectic and they describe themselves as ‘musical chameleons’ willing to attempt any genre ‘from ambient to metal, pop to big band’!
