I am also a member of The Verlaine Family, and they are all great producers, singer songwriters, musicians. Of course you have Verlaine, which includes Thomas Chapman, Ryan Mckdugal (and thats spelled wrong), and also Matt Muse. Team Verlaine also has my good buddy Waylon, a local piece of talent that you should look forward to down the road. All five make up Team Verlaine so if you hear another vocalist on one of my songs its probly one of them. I will keep you updated one any changes with Team Verlaine and our schedule.
Influences: I HAD A LOT A LOT OF INFLUENCES IN MY LIFE SUCH AS MY GRANDFATHER AND MY UNCLE. I ALSO DRAW FROM A LOT OF FOLK AND COUNTRY MUSIC. I ENJOY HIP HOP, BLUES, FUNK, AND JUST THE OLD REGULAR JAM AT THE HOUSE. SOME BIG INFLUENCES ARE BEN HARPER AND THE INECENT CRIMINALS, BOB MARLEY, JIMI HENDRIX, JOHNNY CASH, JOHN MAYOR, BUDDY GUY, LIL WAYNE AND CASHMONEY, STEVE MY FRIEND AT THE SQUARE, MOS DEF, AND MANY MORE.. MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE HAS TO BE LOST LOVE, AND HATE. AND MY EMOTION THROUGH OUT MY EVERYDAY LIFE.
Sounds Like: I reall have a lot of different sound in my music. I dont like to put bounderies on myself, and creativity. I feel its always very classy, but very experimental. I think some of it sounds like radiohead. But sometimes I sound like Lenny Kravitz. I blend a lot of different styles so I leave it up to the listener, but hopefully it just sounds like ZA. Thats I would want it.
