songwriting handbook

Chris Paul Overall is a veteran of the Los Angeles music scene, one half of the duo LPFM and a longtime frontman of the band Wonderlove. Chris is a versatile songwriter and singer with over 30 years in the business. Those who know him say that he has a certain something. His ability to produce songs with such captivating melodies and deep, emotional lyric lines are only complimented by his unique voice and delivery of his songs. Influenced by some of the greats, Lennon, Petty, Dylan, Stevie, Freddy, and perhaps a few more, his songs are an amalgamation of his life, experiences, and perception of the world. Chris can take you on a satisfying musical journey with harmonic blends and unpredictable turns which ultimately resolve to a place of completion. After years of crafting songs, including several co-writes, Chris has written a unique book on songwriting with his longtime friend and author Martin Brown that shares some of his methods and tips, and he invited several of his well-respected songwriter friends to share some of their techniques, too. New and experienced writers can benefit from this quick read as well as the exercises at the end of each chapter. Downloadable version is available on Kindle and the paperback is available through Amazon.
