About Me

I'm currently recording my album at home, though it's taking much longer than I expected. In the meantime, I've posted lyrics up here, and will post my music for listening once I get some worthy recordings done. Besides being a musician and a singer/songwriter, I have worked for a while as a recording engineer in Los Angeles. I record friends whenever I have the time, so just let me know if you are interested. This is also my personal page on myspace, as I like meeting people regardless of my music, and, when I make friends here, I do it to actually make friends.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/11/2005
Band Members: Errin Familia - Acoustic guitar and vocals
Influences: The Beatles, early Rod Stewart, Faces, Jeff Beck Group, T. Rex, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople, Neil Young, Crazy Horse/Danny Whitten, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Blind Faith, The Who, the Doors, Lou Reed, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Donovan, Chuck Berry, and Roy Orbison. I primarily like music from the 60's & 70's. My more modern influences are Michael Penn, Jon Brion, and Badly Drawn Boy, as I have worked with all of them as an engineer, and have befriended them as well. Besides being friends that I value highly, they all have inspired me to be a better musician thanks to being exposed to their outstanding musicianship. Much gratitude to Michael, Jon, and Damon. Other modern influences I listen to are Aimee Mann, Bobby Conn, Doves, and Eleni Mandell, among others.
Sounds Like: I'm not trying to sound like anybody else, and have instead innovated my own sound, a style of songwriting and playing that is unique to me. I feel my music is original and not derived from previous styles, although it certainly has a lot of elements of rock and rock&roll in it. It's very minimal, rhythmic, and basic. Lyrically, I sometimes try to say a lot, and I sometimes try to say nothing at all.
Record Label: Self produced
