About Me

I've worked with a number of musicians and bands in the past, as I continue to do today. In these situations, mine is a supportive or collaborative role, however none of these great experiences I would claim as my own singular, individual musical voice, though there are bits of me in every musical situation I've been involved in. Sometime September is the musical entity or place where I can paint with my own "sonic sketchpad." I take great pride in making the music you can hear- from the roughest demo to the most polished song.I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I have creating it.

Dont Judge A Book By Its Cover

You think you know how I sound and what my style is based upon a listing of a bunch of influences and (now) six songs/samples. You're actually only partly right. Those influences/songs/samples are par...
