About Me

Better Views voted track of the day and track of the week twice! Always embracing life and reveling in the extremes of emotion. I consider myself just one of the many Portland area songwriter hell bent on bringing back the classic folk sound that inspired previous generation to dole out the likes of free love and harmony.I am currently recording my first solo album and am looking forward to sharing the new songs as soon as they are ready. Enjoy the tunes.

Influences:My influences are vast to say the least. I could go on and on throwing out names like Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Jackson Browne, but the reality of it is that I am just to young to take credit for these influences. The first time I ever heard a song by any of these artists was out of the mouth and by the hands of my father. I have to give the credit of my musical foundation to him. He tought me, not only how to fingerpick and chord, but the basics of the instrument like tuning and stringing. Once this foundation had been established, the construction of my own style started to develope. I listened to Depeche Mode, REM, The Violent Fems, and The Cure untill my ears bled with joy, but it wasn't untill I met (again introduced by my Pops) David Wilcox that I understood that I could write beautiful melodies and sappy loves songs and not be considered a big "Sally". I am still influenced by new artists even today. Folks like John Mayer and Sarah McGlachlan continue to fuel my hope of bringing quality songwriting back to the masses.
Sounds Like: Some say I sound like David Wilcox, some say I sound like John Mayer. I have always likend myself to... well, I guess myself.

Today I am here.

There is still so much to do that it seems foolish to say where I am, but change must be noted as evolution hasn't stopped. If asked right now, I would say that I am in the middle of the journey, but...
