About: 2025 First Runner-Up Top Composer Award Winner, Dave Pellegrini is a singer-songwriter and composer based in Orlando, Florida, recently relocated from Indianapolis. A longtime acoustic guitarist and pianist, he performed in a folk group in the '60s and '70s before beginning his songwriting journey in 2013.
Since then, he has written more than 150 songs, primarily in Contemporary Christian, Christian Pop, Southern Gospel, Bluegrass, and Inspirational Country. Many of his recordings were produced in Nashville.
Dave has co-written with hit songwriters Billy Sprague and Joe Beck. His song “Lay My Burdens Down” was recorded by Southern Gospel group Westward Road for their Jesus Can album, and “Forever Strong” was cut by Southern Gospel artist Jessica Ingram through Dallas Gregory at SongU. The demo of “Lay My Burdens Down” won top prize in the SongDoor Contest, earning a professional recording session in Denver.

Seeking: I'm looking for co-writers who can help bring a fresh perspective to what I'm trying to say. I'll be honest — sometimes I'm a little old-fashioned, and sometimes I don't always have the right words to say what's in my heart in a contemporary way. That's where a good co-writer can really help. Some of my older songs might need a little fresh paint. I care about good rhyming and keeping everything pointed true North. I want to write songs that are current, but still grounded in faith and truth.
My goal is to write a hit — whether that's for radio, sync licensing, or getting a cut. But even if that doesn't happen, I want to write great, catchy, singable, memorable songs that reach hearts. That matters to me. I believe in working hard on one song — sometimes two — and rewriting until we get it right. I think co-writers can bring a lot to the table.
A good understanding of the Gospel and the Bible is important, because that's the foundation of most of what I write. When I write country, I like to keep it clean and G-rated. I've written songs pitched toward artists like Dolly Parton, Trisha Yearwood, The Oak Ridge Boys, Michelle Wright, and others. It's a challenge — but it's fun. If you’re willing to dig in and work at it, let's see what we can do together.

About: 2025 Top Composer Award Winner, Marialaina DiFalco. Marialaina is from Long Island, NY. She says, "I started writing songs as a child and had my first radio release at age 20 (freestyle dance song called "Love Me Tonight" by the artist Cynthia). I have always had a love of music and songs, a fan of many artists including Whitney Houston, Heart, Madonna, The Police, Shania Twain, Tim McGraw and others. It was always the amazing melodies that drew me in. I play guitar and writing melodies has always been my strength, but through attending classes at SongU and attending workshops both locally and in Nashville, I feel I have greatly improved my lyric writing also. While I still have the dream of one day hearing more of my songs on the radio, for now, just hearing someone tell me that a song I wrote resonates with them is priceless."

Seeking: Hey all! I am looking for something that speaks to me. It could be a cool ideas or lyric starts. Also, it could be a cool guitar riff, an instrumental, or existing song's instrumental with a cool track and/or chord progression in which maybe you aren't quite happy with the song and wouldn't mind a rewrite/or new topline. I do write both melody and lyrics. I play guitar to accompany myself, but I mostly compose my melodies in my head and then find the chords. I'm not as strong with track production, so if you have studio/arranging/demoing capability, that is a definite plus. I write mostly Contemporary Country and Pop or Pop Rock. I'm always looking to write commercial songs. However, if sync is your thing and you are good on the sync business/placement end, I would love to collaborate and see where that could lead. Thanks for the read and looking forward to hearing from you. -- Marialaina :)
