money moves me... but not that far

About Me



Cute Hot Layouts FromWHATEVERLIFE.COM!
I am a writer first and foremost. I want to write the world. Words are really the only currency I understand. Numbers cloud my mind and make me less likely to create. Sometimes I feel like I have spent my whole life being "too" everything. Too sunny or too dark. Too old school or too progressive. Too indie-fringe or too commercial. Too accommodating or too stubborn. But the last six years and 300,000 miles have taught me that music can never be too authentic and that is all we can really strive for as artists. So, that is my singular goal now- to make music that moves me. Seems like a simple concept, but simple brilliance is the hardest kind. So, if you are rad enough to kindly listen to my tunes, I hope they move your soul from one side of your chest to the other.

Turn the Dial
