About Me

this is my band. or this , if you prefer.
the guitar is my preferred method of communication.
twelve years of songwriting, performing, struggling. there is no alternative, no other way out.
"once you have dived into the stream of music that flows like a torrent through the history of mankind, once you have truly surrendered to its power, immersing yourself in its nurturing force, only a fool would crawl to the bank and shake himself dry." -- neil mccormick
i've had more mindblowing experiences and met more amazing people than many do in a lifetime. i'm working my way in.
it's not why you're running
it's where you're going
it's not what you're dreaming
but what you're going to do
it's not where you're born
but where you belong
it's not how weak
but what will make you strong

and why? because...
"joy is one of the only emotions you can't contrive. it's impossible. despair and anger are easier to convey. great rock 'n' roll, the raw stuff, is pure joy. it's that sense of being alive, of being grateful for your pulse." -- bono

My Interests
