Influences: Life is my biggest influence... The relationships I have, and the people in my life. The lovers of my past, who have lifted me up and broken my heart.
My dear friends who have stood by me through the years, who have forgiven me for dumb mistakes, and have always stood up for me. All these people are characters in my music, and affect the way I feel or react or write.
My homies who have passed. Beau Blain, John NG, Ethan Willoughby , and so many more.
My family, my grandparents who have loved and supported me, my parents and my brother and sister who though I didnt grow up with have brought so much to my already amazingly full life... and finally fill a role I always longed for.
My fans who have reached out to me and shower me with the love and adoration that sustains my ability to be creative, whose comments both inspire and sometimes criticize, who help keep me humble, strong and in check.
Cinema, I love movies, I find the parallels of life and cinema beautiful and undeniable, I love the visual art mixed with music that makes the emotion of the scenes overwhelm.I am inspired art and design, a beautiful space is so influential, I have filled my home with art and instruments from all over the world, the blend of art and objects inspires creativity and whimsy.
