Hi, my name is Val Fay

I have been writing music for approximately 8 years. I work in different genres, pop, ballads, musicals and instrumentals. Recently, since moving to the USA, I became interested in country music and have written a few songs, all with a touch of humour, in the style of Toby Keith/ Brad Paisley/ Trace Atkins.   I am a member of The Guild of International Songwriters and Composers, an invaluable resource for up and coming and established songwriters and through them found S.C.A.M.P Studios who produce most of my demos.   I love the works of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, Barry Manilow, Paul McCartney and of course, the late great John Lennon. Achievements over the last few years have been: Lyrics finalist, Highly commended instrumental, and in the UK Songwriting Contest have received 16 semi finalist and 10 commended entries and more recently I won the 2010 Instrumental category with "Leaving You". I also have two instrumentals published by Cringe Music Studios in their production library.   I have started a new venture, co writing with singer/songwriter Marie Lester so watch out for changes here in the near future!   I would be extremely happy to forward any further information and CD/MP3's of my music to publishers seeking new material or for an artist to cover my songs. I am a member of BMI.   Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music and I hope you visit this site again. Val
