Sounds Like: A fiery mix of electro-pop and noise rock, this singer-songwriter is a veteran of the Modesto music scene, with poignant lyricism and intriguingly twisted instrumentals. - The Stockton Record April, 2008

My picks: “Easy Disco,†“They Don’t Know,†“Rocky Mountain High,†“All The Way,†“What Shall I Do?,†“Crossfire Hero,†“Behind The Wall†and “Special Sound.†- By DJ Puss Puss San Francisco Bay Times June 31, 2007
"It's what might happen if the Scissor Sisters had a little brother that was dating Justin Timberlake and was into Fischerspooner when that was cool. Perfect to listen to while getting ready to go out, and for any dj to play throughout the night. He says he's a dancing queen and I believe it." - Sarah Adorable of Scream Club - XLR8TR Magazine December 06
