I've been trained classically and spent a great portion of my life pursuing Opera.
Along with a classical vocal backround I also played piano for 8 years. But I wasn't dedicated to it and ended up giving it up as a teenager.
At 18 I went off to Australia for five months and at the last minute grabbed the guitar I hadn't learned to play yet. While there I learned a few chords and wrote my first song.
I don't write as much as I should because I tend to only write during random moments of inspiration.
I was also in a band called Science Fiction Radio. We broke up before we really got going very far but we still have a page on MySpace. I played keys in the band and we have one song posted from one of our practices. Check out our page here:
