About Me

Thank you for visiting my page! This page features music I've created mostly on my own at my home studio. Some of these songs may also be performed by my band, Ana Kanpa, but in "Kanpa-fied" versions different from what is found here. Hope you enjoy the music! Please check out my bands: Ana Kanpa at www.anakanpa.com, and Crazy Talk at www.crazytalkband.com.
