many years ago, i thought it would be fun to be in a band, but, because i sucked at learning anyone else’s music, i had to make my own. except for the years of hitting my head against the wall, it ended up working to my advantage. i stayed terrible at playing other peoples music but refined my own sensibility enough to create a slightly warped, but commercial(ish)sound.

i’m still trying to write a really really great song, but have done very well along the way, straddling the jingle world/ band, singer songwriter world/ studio rat, producer, engineer world / and every other piece of the puzzle.

current project:

“band of echoes” sympathetic strings

-singalongs for social enlightenment-

massive singalongs shedding light on social challenges
