Was working on “Day After Day” in today’s live songwriting session. Elizabeth gave a priceless contribution: “set-apart” to rhyme with “heart”.

Nowadays modern smartphone cameras can beautify our appearance, right? Well, for this song, we’re getting old fashioned. Really, really old fashioned. Like, ancient. As in, Ancient Persia, where women in the harem went through 6 months of myrrh treatment and another 6 months of oils and spices for their beautification. Came up with over 50 […]

Remember the chorus yesterday that was written? Still writing the melody for it!

Feeling really humbled because this is a very important song in the musical, introducing Mordecai and Esther. This is a song in which Mordecai, Esther, and the King faced 3 years of uncertainty in the search for a new queen. A pivotal moment in character development so trusting for inspiration and wisdom to write this […]
