I'm a singer/songwriter from Marietta. My band is called "Corner Kid."
Why this name?
Corner Kid defines who I was growing up; the kid who always picked the desk in the back corner. Corners were my nooks where I could shelter myself from everyone else and live in my own world.
Do you play live?
Live is what I live for. I live to disappear in one of my songs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet saved the music. If it werent for the internet, We'd be hearing the same overplayed radio hits every day, waiting for something new and exciting to come along, but alas, it never does. Of course, we could always depend on Vh1 or MTV for the music, but, last time I checked, they dont play MUSIC anymore. Just reality shows and shows about famous people and the expensive things they have.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
my goal as an artist is to always have total control over my music. Major label or not, if my vision is being carried out, then it doesnt matter. I'm skeptical about major labels allowing me to do so, so I dunno.
Band History:
to make a long story short, I've been doing this full-time for a few years.
Your influences?
Badly Drawn Boy, Rufus Wainwright, Ben Folds, Sufjan Stevens, The Beatles, Queen, Sigur Ros, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead
Favorite spot?

Equipment used:

Anything else...?
I want to whisper, I want to scream. I want to be acoustic, electronic, and symphonic. I want to rock, roll, and everything inbetween. I want to be whatever I want to be, and go wherever I want to go. Leave no part of the spectrum of music untouched.
