Influences: My musical influences go on and on....and are healthly diverse.I guess before I began discovering music on my own, all credit would go to my Dad, and any of his friends and family that picked up an instrument around me in my formative years.Now I work hard at not being overly influenced and I just do what I do.Here is my "Off The Top Of My Head Top Ten" these albums were the records I grew up on, and possibly the main stepping stones to where I find myself now.
Sounds Like: Who ever knows what to write here!Dumb question really, depending on the listeners musical knowledge, taste and quality of ear, I could sound like everyone or no-one.Hopefully I just sound reasonably honest.

Type of Label: Major
