About MeHello there! My name is Richie Gilbert and I'm the guy behind Inspired Songwriting Tips.
I'm also obsessed with producing the best recordings of my songs that I can. I use these recordings to pitch my songs to music publishers, in the hope that they can be placed. In The Beginning...I was born in Luton, England where I lived until the age of twelve. That's when my family pulled up roots and moved to the U.S. I've loved music for as long as I can remember, and grew up listening to my Mum and Dad's rock'n'roll 45's. The Beatles, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers; you name it, I loved it!
I graduated to real drums at the age of ten, and shortly afterward picked up the guitar. The guitar would prove to be my true love. I learned to play listening to Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and many other big names of the seventies. My Band YearsAt fifteen I started my first band Joker, with some friends from school. We played at youth centres, graduation parties and even got featured on a local cable television show.
It was during this time that I began writing songs. Dammaj recorded an album, "Mutiny", which was released throughout Europe in 1986, on Roadrunner Records. In the Nineties I played in the bands Jack The Lad and Krenshaw, but found myself becoming more passionate about songwriting than I was about playing live. I also began building my home recording studio, something that has been evolving for almost twenty years now. What I'm Doing Now
I divide my time between my family, writing and recording my songs, and working on this website. I designed this site to help you, the aspiring songwriter, improve your craft. I hope I am successful in this. Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know if any of the info has been helpful to you. -Richie
