pretty well rounded group of influences over the years. ive had alot of influences and
probably dont remember most cause i never wrote it down on a piece of paper,.... before every single person in the world had a computer. what i do know influences me to write.......is when i hear good music that i havent heard before, regardless of what it is. when something suprises me thats new or different, it lets me know theres other people out there with an open mind and a good ear. it has nothing to do with having the same sound or being classified in the same "Genre" of music. its either good or its not.
Sounds Like: just listen to the few tracks listed so you can tell me what they sound like...
