About Me

Resisting Euphoria represents the music I have alway wanted to make since the day I was born.
I enjoy creating music that tells a meaningful story.
This record represents a man who has lost everything and has left his day to day life in search of it. Whether or not he finds what he is looking for is eclipsed by the journey of discovery in and of itself. I started with these songs this time out because I wanted to make the record that I have always wanted to make before I die. Thank you for listening and enjoy!

All songs were recorded using Garageband 2, a Shure KSM27 microphone, a Behringer bass, Green Oaks Crystal synth and a Line 6 Variax Acoustic 300 guitar.

Chapter 3

The trip West was an educational one. When I arrived the small jet was already prepped and ready for flight. There was a small detachment of what appeared to be elite guards escorting a family of four...
