About Me

I do vocal poetry and all things word related.

What grabs me musically: atmospheres that break boundaries - lyrics that reach - dangerous bass - organic rhythms - samurai breaks that play with space instead of just fill it - serious experimentation and the more deeply felt the better.

Current Projects:
Album: “Shinkai 9” (producers Hunter Barr, Marc Blackie, Mike Rea)
Album: collaboration with producer Sada-san...
Novel: “Slip Fall”
Poetry various
Web copywriting various
