Sounds Like: To actually say what or who I sound like is one of the hardest tasks I can undertake. I initially want to say, " just make soup with my influences and there's me"...I just can't give a definate answer. I can describe anyone else's music till I'm blue in the face, but not my own....I just hope listeners understand the breadth of genres I bring to the table, as well as understand the growth that happens daily with music, and they don't define my totality by any one or two tunes.
Type of Label: Major
