A former staff writer for Sony Music Publishing and an original member and founder of the power- pop trio The Semantics - Geffen Records. As a producer, engineer and musician Spence has worked with such artists as Ben Folds, Young Buck, Otha Turner, Holly Williams and Amy Grant to name a few.

In 2004, he wrote and directed "Who's Calling" an 18 minute short film which had a modest festival run.

McInnes and Spence eventually formed Veritas Media Group, a film and video production company based in Nashville.

Spence has now written and directed his third short film and produced a number of music videos, and is currently in pre-production on his first indie feature film. His first screenplay adaption was Cottonwood, based on the novel written by Stacy Dean Campbell.
