My wife and kids have been my biggest 'driving force" in my writings, I love them all very much!
Sounds Like: My music is unique in itself. I always try to find new sounds and angles when writing my songs. I have been told by a few friends that my songs are quite unique and some songs even lean towards the Tom Petty sound. I thanked those people for the compliment. I do my best to be as individual as possible...
