About Me

Hmm. At the moment, I'm 16, so I don't really have much of a bio yet.It's odd to think that 10 years ago was when I started taking piano lessons... 10 years! Wow, and I've definately come a long way... Believe me. I remember when my mom had to make me practice.... She'd sit me down for 15 minutes every day and make me go through all of my songs until I could finally have enough initiative to practice on my own.Around 9 or 10, my piano teacher, John --whom I owe a lot to by the way-- suggested that I start singing while I played piano...Which lead me off into the wonderful world of vocal lessons.I took 6 months of vocal lessons when I was 11, and then, finding that I could do everything on my own after a while, I stopped, but continued to practice daily.About a year and a half ago, I picked up a guitar. It wasn't the best sounding... or maybe that was just me... but I struggled, attempting to teach myself every chord on the chart.Fortunately, my musical career didn't parish because I was actually... well, kinda okay at the guitar.So now, I still do all three, picking up other random instruments as I went along. So if that counts as my bio, then good, because it did take quite a long time to write.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/16/2006

Influences: I have a ton of influences. And believe me, it's not just people I like to listen to. That's shallow. Influences are the people or sounds who have made up who you are today. That's why I'd like to start off by mentioning, and thanking, my parents, my brother, my friends, my aquaintances, and Joann Kathleen Rowling (J.K. Rowling). Without her and her creation of the best fictional character ever (Harry Potter), making one of my songs wouldn't be possible.
Sounds Like: Myself, really. I don't like to compare myself to others, since it's really the way you take the music that counts.I've gotten;Allanis Morsette Michelle Branch Sarah McLaughlin Amanda Marshall Hilary Duff (I don't think I sound like Hilary Duff.. but whatever floats your boat.)
Type of Label: None
