Along with old friend, Brandon Christy, I have co-written songs with UK pop star, Robbie Williams. The most notable one was called "Bodies", and was on the final album RKTVS (Reality Killed the Video Star) of his EMI/Capitol Records 8 album deal. The previous album, Rudebox featured our song, "The Actor".
