Ali Shaw

Lyrics are my jam. As a former local celeb in northern Cali, I've toured with local bands; opened for headlining acts; written jingles and songs; appeared on various albums; worked as a studio musician and toured/recorded with bandmates of Steve Perry & Kenny G. I've worked alongside the best of the best, including Chuck Ashworth (Charlie Peacock), Phil Sillas and more. One of the "honors of lifetime" was collaborating as a lyricist with the late composer Victor Schoen. After years in the shadows, I've stepped out again to connect and create. "Poetic License Collective" is a collection of my recently written songs (available for licensing). Writing influences are eclectic. From Kate Bush to Leonard Cohen, I admire a good storyteller. OTHER CREDITS: freelancer for Hallmark, Blue Mountain Arts, San Fran Chronicle online and countless articles. I'm also a graphic designer & website designer.
