About Me

I like to write songs and sing them. On guitar and piano mostly. I'm learning other instruments as I go. I'm working on mandolin, bass, and most recently bazouki, a ridiculously named and most beautiful sounding string instrument. I like to record songs in my bedroom, onto my laptop. I love capturing noises, like putting a microphone outside my window and catching people walking on the street, traffic noises or the rain in the morning. MyGen Profile Generator
