About Me

My music frees me up to experiment, as well as to express myself. I can paint, sculpt, sketch, write, and anything else that allows for expression of self, because without SELF expression, art becomes people pleasing. I'm also from NY and can never be anything else but a NY'er at heart, which is not to say that I don't want to live somewhere else, I love the west coast. You're invited to listen to my songs. I am the only one who writes, plays, and sings on the songs posted here, so give me credit for that if you can't get with my grooves. The reason I make music is in service of The Universe (God) and for myself, as well as for you beautiful people. All works have been copyrighted before they reach the site, but if you love it that much to steal it then it must be good, so I'm flattered. I've been a musician for just over twenty years now and I'm now buckling down and getting serious about making a name for myself. I'm in the market for a serious record contract that won't require me compromising my art. I can produce, write and perform so it's hard to get a deal that way, but I'm not opposed to working with creative and talented people. Thanks everyone who takes the time to enjoy and keep commenting please they are all very welcome, even the negative ones. ..

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 18/09/2004
Band Website: www.purevolume.com/sadcaterpillar
Band Members: I'm on the hunt for a great drummer and bassist with soul to complete a powerful and beautiful sounding arsenal of vibrations. ..
Influences: My influences are every sound I've ever heard and every feeling or experience I've lived through..... Break-ups, being in love, cartoons I've watched growing up, favorite foods, getting picked on or hurt as a child, beautiful paintings, smells and flavors of sex, theories on existence, ideals and morals, the notion of ideals and morals, wildly beautiful women who amaze me just by existing, best friends, and friends who make it possible to stick around a while longer just because they are in it with you. Oh yea, and my fellow earthlings who face life head on and still have the courage to create such gorgeous things for others to feel and experience. Those are a few....And of course Weird Al Yankovic, Tiny Tim, and Charro.

Sounds Like: It's unique music to me & from what I've been told, it sounds like everything from Depeche Mode, to Alice In Chains, to George Michael, to the Scissor Sisters or Radiohead and many others, so I'm doing the right thing as far as I'm concerned, when I start hearing the same name over again, then I'm in trouble, I always like to hear what others say on this though, tell me what you think it "sounds like"!
Record Label: I will choose with whom I sign when its time.

My new job is right where I’m supposed to be. I think it’s all going to work out here. This is the 8-5 I need for the money to save and spend on following my dream.

what else? MUSIC

I'm finally feeling that my path in life is to put all my effort into my art and music, I really wish I hadn't waited to be thirty to do so, but It was never up to me truly, nothing really is up to me...

Poem

Dramatique, I can be now who I am, I can be no other manWhen I don't know my own hand, from myself away I've ranAnd it pains my heart to live, as it strains my art to giveDo the peasants want my ...

Responsibility

I just wanted to tell everyone who reads my stuff that I only intend to free myself of the isolation in my head at times, by sharing all these personal thoughts with the public. I'm not ashamed of any...

Some poison

I say nothing, it means more than your everythingThe way that you handle me says to me not a thingEvery snowflake I gave you would meltAnd the looks that I gave never felt

I am doing my very best with the help of the universal presence, and caring friends and loved ones, to cut out and surgically remove all: predators, evildoers, users, dysfuctional humans, abusers, neg...

Looking at other people's friends list.

I just want to admit and state that it's very fun and pleasurable for me to search the friends lists of other people, it's something very weird like a guilty pleasure, but it's cool, and many times se...
