AT THE PARADISE LOUNGE ON FEB 12TH AT THE SANCTUM SOUND SHOWCASE PARTY!!!DEVIL'S PIE LIVE @THE PARADISE LOUNGE FEB12 2008BROKEN LIVE @ THE PARADISE LOUNGE FEB 12 2008Here’s just a little bit more about me.I was born in Israel and moved to the States when I was 9. The first time I hit record on a tape deck I was 5, and some people would say I haven’t shut up ever since.So I grew up, . . . and life has gotten a little too real and serious sometimes but music is my way of coping. Music is my defense mechanism, it’s the personal journal that I keep. I’m a real moody b*%h, anyone that knows me will testify to that. My music is a reflection of who I am.I try to stay awake through life. I can so go both ways from light to dark, but i don't wanna linger somewhere in the middle.Music has had an affect on every facet of my life, and the soundtrack changed so much through out all the phases of my life. Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Bob Marley, Nina Simone will always sound good to me at any time of the day, at any point in my life!!!My iPod now a days plays a lot of Robin Thicke, Nick Drake, Radiohead, Feist, SIA, St Vincent, and Amy Winehouse.I just finished up my first release, Walk On Water The EP, produced by Leo Mellace and Steve Catizone of NERO. It's hard ... hard ... work, but music is the reward...
