In the early 2000’s i wrote some songs that were a little out of my wheelhouse, but i’ve always been a huge pop lover.

The first, I Got A Woman is a song I wrote and produced for The Backstreet Boys.  They performed it at Henson Studios in Hollywood

but never included it on their record.  I have no idea why, except they were very sensitive about my instinctive leanings toward AJ as lead vocalist,

as he was so clearly the best singer in the band.

The 2nd track, My Time was written by me and Jason Wade, produced by me and mixed by Chris Lord Alge.  Performed by The Clique Gurlz, same story… the mothers got a little upset that I was pushing the lead vocals to Paris, the youngest girl and most obvious real singer in the group.

Bands are sensitive, and producing is a therapy job.  Being a musician who had to face a lot of news I didn’t necessarily love, I may have lacked the skills to sell them in the best way.  Ah well… all in a day’s work.  The songs are now vintage but still hold up pretty well!
