In 2018, I became a licensed songwriter and wrote several songs for Barry Wilson, an accomplished musician with a deep, practical understanding of how instruments actually work — not just stylistically, but mechanically.
That work is now officially available on Apple Music and iTunes as part of the album Willow Tree: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/willow-tree/1346969337
The reason I’m posting is simply that the material has now been added to the major platforms and is part of the public catalog.
Shortly after that writing period, I was involved in a series of car accidents that interrupted my ability to continue active collaboration. Barry continued forward into a solo career and now performs live on a regular basis, including weekly shows.
This isn’t a promo post or a sympathy post — just documentation of a collaboration I’m proud of, now that the work is formally released.
If you’re a songwriter: licensing and release don’t always happen on the same timeline. Keep records. Timing matters.
