Influences: Everyone really. Began as and remain a devoted motown and soul fan. All the greats-- Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Otis Redding, etc. After picking up a guitar and starting to write lyrics, I was definitely under the spell of the singer-songwriter icons like James Taylor and Van Morrison. Working with the great Phoebe Snow definitely influenced me (she got me started, co-produced my first recordings, and sang back-up -- which was pretty cool -- on several tracks from my first CD). As for more current artists, Martin Sexton, Ron Sexsmith (whose Toronto-based backing band played on a lot of my forthcoming CD!) became favorite singer-songwriters of mine. And now teaming up/writing with Rich Price and Brian Chartrand has certainly weighed in on my style and writing.
