Once upon a time, Feb 5, 2005, I had my very first songwriting lesson.

(two upsidedown cat songs) and i helped sing on jonathan's two songs. august 17, 2009- still recording... august 28, 2009 Sound Ghost Collective group show at the Red Sea.I also have also helped make many (140ish) improv songs with my friends at Ink Brethren Upsidedown Cat has sometimes been described as lo-fi indie-pop craftcore community college rock. it might also be described as twee-ish, casio-pop or nostalgic, though mainly it's just stories and sing alongs.a HUGE thank you to Todd.. for being the best songwriting teacher ever and my friend for more than two whole years! And to Abbi, of course, who is a great friend and helped play my first two shows. And to all of you guys who like to sing along to my songs, thanks for being my friends, and thanks for all the encouragement!

Check out the Soundclick site for Early Recordings(!), random stuff i've made with fruity loops, and the complete collection of recorded Upsidedown Cat songs...
Here's a quote from our friend, Jonathan of the Tuniverse :"Upsidedown Cat is exactly the kind of pop music I love to discover: fun, catchy, original, quirky, and smart. It just works. Once you hear it, you're hooked! You can't get these songs out of your head. It's refreshing to hear something so melodic and nice without being in any way saccharine or over-produced. If you need to see proof that it's possible to take a casio and create something of true melodic genius, look no further."
