"Olivia, Happy Birthday To Ya" - An Original Tune By Charlie May

One of my Instagram followers asked me to write a song for his daughter, Olivia's, 11th birthday last Friday. I was super stoked to be a part of her special day and cut the song and video in two days to be sure he could get it to her in time.

When I asked him for an email to send him the song, he offered to pay me using a check from his daughter's personal savings account. At this point, I was 99.99% sure it was some kind of scam, and when I told him payment wouldn't be necessary, and that I'd happily give him the song for free (which was my plan all along), he stopped responding to my messages and confirmed my suspicions.

Despite the weirdness of the situation, it was a great experience for me. It forced me to expand my perspective as a writer and let me try out some new techniques in the studio. I also learned what PJ Maxx is 😂

I found out I really enjoyed writing for other people, as well as myself! If you'd like me to write you a song, or work on a tune together, hit me up! I'd love to talk with you 😊
