I've been influenced vocally musically and guitarilly (hey it's my profile I can invent my own words) by every artist and style I could get my hands on. I'm my tunes you can hear little hints at everything from Steely Dan, Journey, Donnie Hathaway, P Funk, Santana, Floyd, Beatles, the Police, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Maroon 5, Chili Peppers, Jon Legend, Miles Davis, Van Halen, etc. But you chop them up and put them in a blender and it comes out tasting like something new and different. I think they call it eclectic. I try to create something that has flavors of all the great music I've been influenced by over the years. I'll look to Beatles for inspiration on great melody, Donnie Hathaway and Marvin Gaye for passoinate vocal expression, Earth Wind and Fire for beautiful harmony and arrangements, Steely Dan for cool jazzy chords, the Police for being able to mix up jazz, pop, punk, rock, reggae, all in 1 tune and make it fresh and individual. So I guess that genre is eclectic sophisticated but fun pop with a jazzy funky groove. Good luck finding that section in Tower records. But hey you don't need to go there, that's what the internet is for. Finding cool underground stuff that you can tell all your friends you discovered! Down with the establishment. Down with the man. Long live the true indie artist. Or at least just listen to the tunes and have fun!Here are some works in progress for an upcoming release. People were curious on what I've been working on in my mad scientist's laboratory so I put a few cool things up. As I add trax and remix I'll put latest versions up. So you get to see the Evolution of the music. Pretty cool!
