Dave writes songs for specific artists — then pitches them in the open. Press play, and if a song moves you, give it your vote. The ones you champion are the ones that get heard by the artists they were written for.
Every song here starts on paper and ends up looking for its singer — and you're the part that gets it there. Here's the whole model in four moves.
Dave writes the lyric the old way — pen, paper, a lifetime of stories. Grit, humour and heart from a family tree that includes poet Henry Lawson.
An AI-produced demo gives the lyric a melody and a mood — not the finished record, just enough sound to capture an artist's imagination.
This is where you come in. Press play, and vote for the songs that move you. Every listen and every vote is momentum — the crowd behind a song is what lifts it off the page and onto an artist's radar.
The song is pitched to the artist it was written for — to be re-recorded in their own sound, their own voice, their own way. That's the whole point.
Getting a song heard is the hardest part of songwriting. So the pitches happen here, in the open — and the crowd behind a song becomes part of the pitch. When a track lands on an artist's desk with real listeners already backing it, it's no longer a demo. It's a movement.

Born in Hobart, writing since he could hold a pen, with Australia's great poet Henry Lawson in the family tree. The songs grew out of the stories — and now they're looking for their voices.
