Featured Track

You Made Me (Song for Mom)

β€œYou Made Me (Song for Mom)” is a tender country ballad celebrating the mother whose love, faith, and steady presence shaped everything you’ve become. It turns a lifetime of gratitude into a gift she can holdβ€”proof that her fingerprints are all over the person you are today.

Making music for life…

Welcome, fellow traveller!

Music has always been one of my deepest passions. I’ve been singing since before I could talk and composing since I was nine.

Over the years, I’ve composed hundreds of songs, and several have won awards. My catalogue includes an unproduced musical, Queen of Persia, co-written with Candace Marshall. I’ve also had the joy of writing for and with other talented artists.

I studied music and composition in college, then taught piano for nearly twenty years and served as a worship leader in my local church for much of my adult life. Music has always been a part of my everyday world.

After a decade focused on fiction, I’m returning to my first dream: professional songwriting. New creative tools have removed the barriers that once held me back. Now I’m building my catalogueβ€”and I’m open for collaboration, co-writes, and sync opportunities. Contact me if you’re interested.

From my heart to yours,

Talena
