What do you think of the music industry in 2021?
I think the quality of the music isn’t as good or what actually gets played then
the past. Because of the new technology it’s a less personal industry. The DJ’s often determined getting your song plays. It’s a lot different now. I am fairly new to this industry and am an indie lyrics writer. there are different types of opportunities today in a very competitive business. There are many talented artists out there!

There are many, the Beatles, and Bruno Mars, Drake and many more!
Who have you collaborated with so far in your career?
My Brother Jim O’Rourke a long time indie rock artist and Ajax Alexander a young rapper I met.
How do you think you differ from other artists?
I think the fact that I’m older and I only write lyrics, so the genre can be fit to the type of artist you work with,
so I consider myself a kind of novelty. I also produced my first ever music video almost two years ago!
Dead or alive, who would be your dream collaboration?
I would have to say Paul Mcartney.

I bought many singles but the first pop album i ever bought was The Beatles ’65 album!.

It’s a dark song about how people and institutions betray you. No trust in people or government from my view. My brother Jim did the music and performs the song, called Didn’t See It Coming.
What’s in the pipeline after this project?
I’m already writing lyrics for another song and I may possibly try and do a children’s book based on my song and video Daisy’s Riding Shotgun. Kids really enjoy it as well as adults!
