About Me

Things about me
-I've been playing guitar for many years, but I just only started singing and writing actual songs back in November 2007. As for my voice, considering I never wanted to sing before, I'm much more confident with how it sounds these days, quirks and all.
-My main guitar (which I named "Aubrey") is a Gibson Epiphone PR350S. I bought it off of a guy from Lubbock, Texas. Very cool.
-All of my rough demos are recorded straight into GarageBand using the little microphone on the front of my iMac. Cheap but effective.
-"Pink Moon" by Nick Drake is probably the best album that I own.
-I'm not as boring as I think I am, but I like having a simple, uncomplicated lifestyle.
