BIOGRAPHY
I started writing lyrics in 1980 at the age of 17 and had my first songs recorded, produced and performed live at the age of 19.
In 1995 my poem 'Precious Child' was published in the 'Best Book of Life and Love'.
In 2001 I won an Outstanding award for my song 'Everything Seems Different In The Dark', which I wrote with Richard Tanner and a Merit award for my song 'A Beautiful Lady - Titanic', which I wrote with Mick Cooper, both at different music festivals. 'A Beautiful Lady - Titanic' was recorded onto a piece of film about Titanic and was played at a Titanic exhibition. I wrote this song in memory of my Great Grandfather and all those who died when Titanic sank on April 15th 1912.
I created brand new lyrics for 'The Wizard of Oz' for a school production and the finale song, 'Together As One' was specially recorded and produced as a solo piece. I also wrote lyrics for a new original play called 'Nation of Imagi', for a primary school production.
I produced and published a book on Amazon, 'Poetic Wonders', which is an anthology of poems written by myself and five other very talented authors that I gathered together for the project. The book contains 90 beautiful poems, plus a full length story, written in rhyme called 'The Bear On Lonely lake', written by one of the featured authors. I had the pleasure of recording an audio version of this story a few years ago. 'Poetic Wonders' was five years in the making, I am so proud of the result and I am more than delighted that Enoch Anderson, a prevalent lyricist endorsed the book and wrote an amazing foreword for it. The book is available worldwide.

In March 2020 I wrote a song with my co-writer AJ Clarke called 'ONE DAY SOON', which is a song for our time during the COVID-19 crisis. We had written, produced and recorded the song and produced the video, all in under a week. AJ also performs the song live at his own shows on the cruise ships. It was an amazing experience to write the lyric for this song. AJ and myself hope the song will bring some joy to everyone who hears it. We used the song to raise much needed funds for the NHS.
My song - 'HUG INSIDE AN ENVELOPE' was released as a single by Jeff Pike 15/7/2020. The music was written by my collaborator and friend the late Robert Benson. I am so proud of this song and it is available to download and stream on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Deezer and Jeffpike.com. All the links to the song are here jeffpike.hearnow.com. A portion of the lyric is featured in the book 'Finding Strength In The Dark' by Annette Pearson.
In September 2020, Mick Cooper and I resurrected a musical we started writing in 2005, that we worked on intermittently through the years. We adapted the idea as a brand new story, worked on the songs we already had and wrote new songs for it as well. We now have a completed synopsis and script and 13 demos, which are currently waiting to be arranged and produced professionally. The musical is called ARNIE'S GYM and you can read the synopsis on my ARNIE'S GYM page on this website.
LET'S GET AWAY FROM IT ALL is a song I have written with AJ Clarke and we released it on 12th July 2021. It is available to watch on YouTube and as a personal download to purchase. This is a really great uptempo, positive song with a great groove and we are both extremely proud of it. The YouTube video of the song is below and there is also a computer download for a very small charge, which you can find at. https://ajclarkemusic.net/shop
From 2020 to date, A.J. Clarke and myself have been working on producing songs for an album. It has always been a big ambition of mine, to write lyrics for an album and it has been one of the most incredible experiences of my writing career. Working with A.J. is amazing and we bounce off each other beautifully. More news on this soon.
In interim years, I have collaborated on many songs, including songs for potential musical theater shows and I have an extensive catalogue spanning over 40 years of writing, which you can read on My Music CV 1982 to date page.
I have written lyrics in many styles including: Power Ballad, rock, 3/4 time, big band swing, jazz and musical theater. I have worked with very talented composers, musicians and vocalists who do an incredIible job bringing my lyrics to life. Spending time in a recording studio is always an amazing experience for me.
