Influences:
I'm personally influenced by many styles. I studied jazz and classical in college and have a deep appreciation and passion for the masters of both of those idioms. I'm a ridiculouly obsessed Pink Floyd fan. I'm only slightly less maniacal about Led Zeppelin and the Doors. Also, I manage DJs and produce house music events, and am in love with all house and techno genres. From progressive house, tribal, DNB, trance, to anything else you can think of. I grew up playing rock and metal, and it too is close to my heart. Later on I learned to appreciate pretty much everything... musicians like Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, Tori Amos, and Sarah MacLaughlin. Lately, I've been listening to Radiohead and Coldplay quite a bit.Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Coldplay, Sting, Eagles, Sasha, Bonnie Raitt, Ani Difranco, Radiohead, Sander Kleinenberg, Tori Amos, The Doors, Steve Lawler, Sarah McLaughlin, Nick Drake, DJ Vibe, James Taylor, Parliament Funkadelic, Soundgarden, Van Halen, Dresden Dolls, Carey Bell, D:Fuse, Godsmack, Digweed, Rachmaninov, A Perfect Circle, Aerosmith, Lynryd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, John Coltrane, Snoop, Hernan Cattaneo, Commodores, Prince, The Beatles, Plump DJs, Miles Davis, Bjork, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Otis Redding, Peter Gabriel, Alanis, Shryl Crow, Carl Cox, Aretha Franklin, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Brahams, Herbie Hancock, Fleetwood Mac, U2, Robert Johnson, Paul Van Dyk, Deep Dish, Erick Morillo, The Who, David Bowie, Low End Specialists, Debussy, Notorious B.I.G., Dre, Elton John, Billy Joel, Liszt, AC/DC, Sly & the Family Stone, Christopher Lawrence, Max Graham, Pearl Jam, Mauro Picotto, Massive Attack, Kraftwerk, Armin Van Buren, Chemical Brothers, The Smiths, Eminem, Public Enemy, James Zabiela, Infusion, Allison Krauss, Gabriel & Dresden, Beck, Portishead, Jane's Addiction, Earth, Wind & Fire, Tiesto, Chopin, Chus and Ceballos, Ferry Corsten, Mark Farina
