About Me

Writer, singer, dancer. I sing for a band called ALL NIGHT DRUG PROWLING WOLVES. I also write songs with Brent Hinds under the name WEST END MOTEL. They are songs of love, loss and laughter. Both bands are no joke. Check it. I write for Dry Ink Magazine. I started the magazine with William Inman. We have not made a nickel off of it. We believe in underdogs. I write stories and songs and try get my piece out there as often as possible. I'm originally from the great N.Y.C. but have been hangin' in the ATL. for the past 10 years or so. I used to listen to new wave. Now I listen to old jazz. I dance when I'm drunk. I drink a lot of red wine and throw plates at my walls. I believe in young women and old shoes. We'll talk about it.
