Harriet Schock is a songwriter/singer and keenly aware that lyrics and poetry are two different things. She is continually inspired by the poetry of Paradigm Poets and contributes new songs, rather than new poems to the group. She has made her rollercoaster of a living for 33 years writing songs, recording albums, singing and more recently, scoring film and as an author and teacher of songwriting. Here’s some of what’s she’s been doing:

Harriet Schock wrote the words and music to the Grammy-nominated #1 hit for Helen Reddy, "Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady" plus many songs for other artists including Nancy Wilson, Smokey Robinson, Lee Greenwood, Carl Anderson, Gloria Loring, Manfred Mann and the Little Mermaid. Her songs have been featured in numerous films and TV shows, including “The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, ” “Matters of the Heart,” “Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon,” “Baby Geniuses II,” “Delta Force II,” and the animated “Secret Garden.” Currently she has a PBS Emmy-winning series theme song, "Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks" playing weekly and two cuts on the new Jeannie Kendall album All The Girls I Am, one of which was nominated for hot AC single of the year by New Music Weekly. Her fourth, fifth and sixth CDs, American Romance, Rosebud and Harriet Schock - Live from Fairfax to Pasadena are in national release, as well as her book, BECOMING REMARKABLE: For Songwriters And Those Who Love Songs. She scored two new Henry Jaglom films, "Going Shopping," and “Hollywood Dreams,” in current release. Harriet also won a Dramalogue award for her live show which she has performed worldwide. She teaches songwriting for the Songwriters Guild of America, as well as privately and by correspondence.
