TAKE A LISTEN TO SOME FINISHED REQUESTS:
This moving, intimate acoustic track captures the energetic beauty of a romance that blooms out of an existing friendship in the workplace, and includes vignettes from their love story - like when he climbed a mountain to get a signal on his cellphone so he could make sure she was alright after learning that she had received some bad news, their first date over wine and realizations that they had a strong connection, and the fact that they always send each other photos of sunrises (and how perfect, since her name is “Dawn”)!
This upbeat, solo electric guitar and vocal tune was written to celebrate the story of Kelly and Evan as a wedding gift. They met at a support group and felt an instant connection, and she confessed to him, “I think we have chemistry”. She was grateful to find someone who made her feel seen and understood, and appreciated for her authentic self. “I love where he came from, and where we’re going.”
This romantic, fully-produced song was a Christmas gift from Jaida to Buz, that opens with the story of their first kiss. Even though the weather was a mix of snow and rain, she couldn’t leave without kissing him first. The title of the song, “now that’s love” is a common expression that the couple shares, and the song weaves in another of their favourite sayings - “we’s a team”. She told me that, at the end of her life, his face is the last thing she wants to see.
TESTIMONIALS
“Wow.....you nailed it. The song was perfect. I got the attention of everyone gave a small intro and watched the tears flow as you sang. Good tears though! The song left my son speechless. He just looked at me and shook his head.... “How can an old hard ass like me come up with such a sweet idea like that” were his thoughts. I’m a softie, really! Thanks again.”
“Crissi, I LOVE IT! It is so perfect! Thank you so much. You are so talented and thank you for sharing your talents in this way – you’ve allowed me to give a wonderful gift that I would never have been able to otherwise. I can’t wait until she hears it for the first time.”

“I just wanted to email and say thank you so much for the lovely song. I can’t express how much it moved me that [my husband] reached out to you to do something so creative and thoughtful and that you hit the nail right on the head with the lyrics. He didn’t tell me what it was but just started playing it and I thought “oh that’s just my kind of music, I love the guitar picking” then I thought “oh hey, that lyric is kind of like us” and then “oh that one is like us too” then “wait a minute this is ABOUT US!!!” . Then I cried, of course. Thank you once again for the most memorable, unique, heartfelt gift ever. I will treasure it always.”
