Influences: Pretty Much Everything Influences Me Musically, Even Daily Activities Like Sunrise. By the way, I just updated the lyrics page for my tunes on here so if you are interested in what I am singing about then feel free to check them out. And post any comments you like. I am open to constructive criticism. I wrote most of the tunes on this page with some help from my friends on Cracked Consciousness. These tunes are in no way associated with the bands that I am in (yet). Here is a short list of my influences; Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, ELP, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Bach, Jaco Pastorius, Thelonius Sphere Monk, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Paul Chambers, Mark Morton, Jerry Cameron, Petar Jankovic, The Who, Peter Gabriel, among others.
Sounds Like: I have heard people compare me to the likes of David Bowie and some other big names, but I can't be an objective observer here. All I know is, if one person enjoys just one of my songs then I have done my job. Just so you know, I recorded Allison, Clear Impression, and Golden Stones at my friend Joe Licht's apartment studio, all as a part of my full length CD project called Merciful Wings. Joe was instrumental in helping me get the songs mixed as well as invaluable as a unbiased listener. Many thanks, Joe, and KUDO'S to you!! I had just broken up with someone and was in a bad way and I needed a release, so he agreed to let me loose in his studio. I thank Joe with much gratitude!!!!! Cracked Consciousness was recorded later on using my home studio gear at Watters Wood Works, before Classic Graffittti's gear was stolen.
