Sounds Like: I would like people to say I sound like Marcello Carro,sometimes people told me i was sounding a bit like Grover Washington J.R. which is a great compliment but i have to say if i did it was purely casual since i only rencently started to listen to him after many told me i was sounding alike.
I listened to a lot of music in my life so it's hard to say who I sound alike, too many influences.-------------------------------------------------
