My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/1/2006
Band Website: TheSoulsinger.com
Influences: I see influences much different than I see the artists that I simply enjoy or even draw comparison to. Influences are the artists that inspire you either in terms of your inevitable style, songwriting and overall flavor down to the way you see and shape your own career. With that said, some of my influences have been Luther, Dave Hollister, Jonathan Butler, Will Downing, Eric Benet, Sam Cooke, Charlie Wilson and Stevie Wonder.
Sounds Like: I really don't think i "sound like" anyone and that's kool with me actually because many times in recent years, male vocalists emulate each other so much that they start to become difficult to distinguish. While I don't necessarily agree or hear it... I have heard comparisons to Will Downing, Peabo Bryson and Anthony Hamilton... is it me or are all these cars TOTALLY different!! lol...

No fluff... give it to me straight... the curse of the good guy

Not big into the blog thing but this has been a thought on my mind for the last week or so... it's truly more of a question. I tested it on a few of my female friends and got some interesting feedback...
