       Hello, my name is Michael Crawford and I’m a          My purpose of writing “lyrics to sing to”, from the
       lyricist. I’m looking to get my work metaphorically   heart, is to sell them to musicians who find my music
       “out there, collaborating with musical artists to help   to fit their genre or theme for their album and tour.
       create timeless songs that will captivate the audience   Whether it’s one song or a contract for many, my goal
       for playlists to come.                                is to retire creating music in collaboration with selling

       In 2009, I completed a Project Management degree
       at City University in Seattle. I have been working at a   Reverbnation link.....

       been within the past 10 yrs, writing has become a     Facebook link.....
       focus of release, emptying my thoughts of all the     Soundcloud link.....
       specifications and processes overriding my brain.
       Nevertheless, writing has always been something I
       enjoy and a welcome change of pace.

       Some of my favorite things to write are lyrics in
       various genres, short stories, and working on a novel.
       Within the last 10 yes, I submitted two poems for a
       poetry contest in a poetry magazine in 2009. In 2018
       I have been featured in Poze music magazine after my
       songs have been heard.


       I have a number of lyrics written and have completed
       collaboration projects with singers and musical
       Performers. My first song, “No Turning Back,” I
       mailed to a country alternative artists Lachlan Bryan
       & the Wildes in Australia in 2016 with positive
       responses.


       Three years ago, I began submitting my songs through
       various music venues for purchase; streaming and
