Biography

Alan Whitfield
British Songwriter & Composer
A Profile


It was a few years ago when I began to write songs on the advice of my college tutor.
What a break that was. A journey that was going to be a wonderful experience.

Since that time I have had 22 songs released in US on a New York label B Atlas records.
Having achieved sales I decided to write songs for others to record. This lead to some of my songs being published in UK by Sleeping Giant Music based in London. It became a priority to position my future song writing for a variety of musical outlets. More recently I have signed a publishing contract for my song “Say No” with Hiway 60 Music a Nashville music publisher.

With the onset of the internet I sent my songs to Australia for radio play having seen a request in the music press. My song “Summer Sun” got on the play list and reached No 1 in the ILR World Independent charts and stayed there for 10 weeks.
NBT Records Berkeley Springs have also included two of my songs on their Ride the Train CD volume 4 and volume 6. Also my song “Train Nation” has been included on the Ride the Train volume 21 released in 2007.

In 2007 I completed 12 songs for my CD “Time” which I sent to Sibeerecords UK for review. I am delighted to say that these songs were released in 2008. This release is receiving regular sales. Also in 2010 some of the songs from "Back Home" have been released by SiBee records and are generating sales.

2008 I released my CD “Sundown” which has received good airplay and is enjoying some digital download sales.

The CD “OH NO” consisting of 12 tracks was rleased in early 2009.

More recently in 2010 the CD "Back Home" was released and my latest release is "Writing's On The Wall" has just been released in 2011.
Both of these Albums consisit of 12 tracks each and are receiving air play creating good positive interest.

I am driven by such great musicians as John Lennon and Paul McCartney and also Mark Knophler who was the inspiration for my song “Hell’s Corridor” with his haunting guitar riffs. He also comes from the North East of England not far from my home Town.
