Sounds Like: Sound is defined by the highly talented, creative, professional, motivated, and positive individuals that I am privileged to work with on a daily basis. Artists, producers, writers, arrangers, musicians, engineers, and every single person who touches music from inception to retail. The true definition of "Surround Sound" is, "creative music generated by one who surrounds himself with people who have powerful energy."
