Influences: Musical Influences:I love so many different styles of music and listen to them regularly…jazz, reggae, classical, rock, folk, blues, bluegrass, old school R&B (Motown!) singer/songwriter….on & on the list goes…I had to change what was here before...it was so long and ridiculous! Basically it suffices to say that I listen to a ton of different music and love almost all of it.
Sounds Like: You will hear a ton of different styles and sounds in my music depending on what bits you are checking out. I don't want to color your opinions too much, but if you look at my influences, I am sure you will hear some similarities somewhere in there. Why don't you decide and tell me what you hear.
