It's my first name. It's pretty original.

I do like playing live, but at the moment I don't have a band, so when I do play live, it's mostly acoustic. I'd love to present my work in a live setting though, with a full band in all of its theatricality.

I think that the internet is a fantastic way for independent musicians to gain exposure, and form friendships and collaborations with other musicians. It gives a voice to those who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to have one, given the commercial and exclusive nature of the mainstream music industry. It allows people who are really passionate about music to find music that really moves them.

Yes, but only if I were allowed to maintain creative control of my music.

In the making.
