Just a simple man, trying to express himself.
My primary goal is to write one great song, in my life time.
Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
I've never played live because I'm still very self conscience about my singing and playing. Basically I suffer paralyzing stage fright. I've played 3 open mics and I can see how folks become addicted to the applause. I found the responds over whelming, actually but in my heart of hearts I felt the songs just weren't ready. But I'm rehearsing acoustic arrangements of my songs and I plan to beat this fear, someday.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well of course, it makes it easier to share your work around the world with some reasonable amount of quality and makes it a lot easier to collaborate and to share feedback.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I'm not sure. I could use to money but I'm not sure how many malls and parking garage openings I'd be welling to perform in, while they are paying me maybe .50 for every $9 Cd sale. I guess just their interest would be enough to boost my ego and keep me moving forward with my own thing.
Your influences?
(This isn't a list of my favorite musicians but a list of those that inspired me to believe that I could create good music) Ray Charles, Jimi Hedrix, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Eric Clapton, Natalie Merchant, Bonnie Raitt, Lenny Kravitz, The Black Crows
Favorite spot?
Where ever there is someone sitting on a stool, with a guitar in hand.
Equipment used:
Acoutic guitar - Martin DCX1E, Keyboard -Casio WK1800 ( which I still can't play)
Electric guitar - Ibanez GiO, Recorder - Boss BR-600 portable multi track digital recorder.
