About Me

"Here is what I think after one serious listen to each track: First, you're a genuine singer songwriter, so congratulations on that. The lyrics are cold and hot at the same time. Definitely shows personality and it's witty. I like it. I think you have a nice and emotive voice. I like your conversational style of writing. It's easy on the ears and immediately identifiable. A lot of evocative lines that suggest a wealth of emotions - very emotional music. I like it. I guess the "genre" I'd put this in, edgy - urbanish - folkish type stuff. I like the originality. Very artistic. Very soul searching stuff. I am a little biased because I always appreciate originality. And I like the fact that it isn't like so and so. It definitely demonstrates an involved and expressive writing process. I think your music is catchy and exemplifies the conscious process of writing. I like it. I think it is a good representation of that style of music. I think it is worthy and successful music as far as the goal of expressing oneself goes."
