..This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5 ~ Well, I'm here because I write and sell songs. I'm here to expand my network and discover artists that need material to cover and find other writers to collaborate with. (I love writing with other musicians). I am originally from LA where I was a child & adult actor, but that info's for latter on. Mainly I'm here for the music. I started getting into clubs in LA when I was a young teen passing for older, and was mesmerized by what I saw...the older blues and jazz musicians of the time. The festivals that went on then left an indelible impression on me too - Jimmi Hendrix, Traffic, Big Brother and the Holding Company (with Janis Joplin), it goes on and on. I've been writing since I was 9 and have been unusually fortunate to have had some amazing personal encounters with some exceptional musicians in LA, Austin, Atlanta, San Francisco Bay area, and some sprinklings of other stops in the states - and now here in the Seattle area. Trust me, it's not all grunge here, not that there's anything wrong with grunge. I believe in diversity in musical genres - I think it's healthier and that's why I've included 3 songs that I've written from 3 different genres. I believe I have a pretty versatile range in writing. "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool" (Lester Bangs' character in "Almost Famous") In any case I hope you have an experience with my music. ^i^ ~ sss..............(ps. for more in depth info on me go to myspace.com/sallylalala )
