Let's start pretending it was just a Dream....

About Me

My music is myself and my guitar writing with my emotions about my past experiences and my friends experiences. I would love to play with other people and possibly get a little band together because itd be nice to use other opinons as far as the guitar, vocals, and lyrics go and I love making music with other people... It just seems to be so much more fun and the outcome seems that much better. I am currently working on several different styles mostly vocally just messing around really to see what works. I love being fun and sarcastic with my music.. but a lot of it is very emotional to me. Most of my music is about ex-boyfriends and lost love.. it seems thats the easiest place to find inspiration.
MyGen Profile GeneratorI record on my dads Dell computer that sits in the corner of an open living room or with Homegrown Records. I use the computers microphone and a "creative wave studio" that happened to come standard with the computer. A little bit of editing is involved as far as volume goes.. and sometimes I cut things out or paste things in.. but it's all me.. and most is just recorded live, normalized.. and uploaded to myspace.
