Sounds Like: My foundation lies within my acoustic guitar. I play with really quick meladic drive when my acoustic sits in my hands. It becomes a part of me and I go along for the ride. With that layer paved, I add on the bass and electronic equipment to create a full sound that derives solely from my soul. I have set a goal to be able to channel my pure emotions into notes and I feel as though I'm becoming more and more capable of that. I want people at my shows to leave with a smile on their face and for that feeling to resonate so soundly that they'll remember that memory forever.
