Sounds Like: ****This is a hard one for me to describe, as I meld together sounds that aren't necessarily paired too frequently. I am a lover of sound, all sounds. I listen to every genre under the sun, although I do feel a particular affinity for alternative, rock/pop, electronica, and jazz. There are elements of each of these genres in my music, and although the predominance of one genre varies from track to track, there is one thing that ties it all together: passion. Every note sang, every chord played, every sound created reverberates with a fiery reverence for music and all that it encompasses, accomplishes, teaches, heals, and incites. At the root of all that I am lies sound. My soul speaks sonically. I don't sing and compose just because I love to, I sing and compose because I must****
