Influences: i have so many many influences...
I grew up with my first 45" of Pat Benatar's HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT single....... i would sing to it in front of my mirror with a brush as my mic....
When i was 9 i got my first tapes of Depeche Mode and fell in love. i started liking NIN, Duran Duran, REM, etc.etc...
As i have grown older my influences come from most of my dear friends who are artists and musicians and their influences. i love music and art that defines life. i can listen to rap, then country, then classical, folk, industrial, hardcore punk......... to me it's all about the emotion and the realness of the artist.
Music is about life and all that fits in between. love, loss, hurt, joy, pain, triumph, failure, and so much more. So, in essence i would say that LIFE is my biggest influence. its about the human condition, and being human.
Sounds Like:
Listen to my music because it's different and makes you feel things, not because you think I sound like someone else.
