About Me

To paint an accurate picture of my music, one needs a very broad palate, with many color options and shades. My influences range on such a broad spectrum, and I fell this is completely reflected in my songwriting. The bottom line, and my ultimate goal is to simply put a song you can relate to in your head, get it stuck there, and have you singing along. From the first track on my LP, "For Ships & Stars" to my latest track, "Break Down."
Currently, I have decided to do something very different from the past. I have been working on a short EP. With no frills, it's being called the Myspace EP. Tomorrow, January 8, I will be releasing "Break Down" for all to download. Completely free. A week from tomorrow, the second track will be placed online to listen to and download. All for free. Music is becoming my therapy and these tracks are now for me, as much as they are for you... I simply want to be able to sit back and let us all enjoy it.
If you are interested in getting a copy of "For Ships & Stars" or would like a physical copy of the new EP, feel free to contact me at [email protected].
