One man road show....lol. Mostly you'll hear some smooth sounding, laid back Jazzy kind of songs. Once in awhile, though, I get an idea for other types of music, as well.
Why this name?
It's just part of my name.... I have a hard time naming things. You'll see that when it comes to some of the song titles..... ;-)
Do you play live?
I used to. Haven't in quite a few years. I would again if the opportunity presents itself. I loved doing it, tho. Live gigs can be soooo much fun.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It helps it in a way....for the aspiring artist, the garage band or the guy that has terminal stage fright. It presents a format for anyone, really, to get their music out to people that would never hear it otherwise. And that, to me, is a great thing.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I think if it was the right kind of deal I would. That would be the important part.
Band History:
Hmmmm...history?? I'm 36 (at the time of this writing)....and since it's a "solo gig" at the moment....I won't bore you with my life's story...ha ha ha. I got started back with music again after quite a long period of "nothing" about 1-1/2 years ago. I compose all the songs using FL Studio. It's amazing what can be done with any of the software "studios" today. I love it.
Your influences?
My influences have little bearing on the music I write. I've been into everything from Frank Zappa to Bach, with Depeche Mode, Level 42, ZZ Top, BTO and Blood, Sweat & Tears tossed in for a nice mix. There's just to many to list.... For jazz influences.... guys like Chic Corea, Flim & the BB's, Jimmy Haslip, Hilary Jones, Al deMiola, John Scofield to name a few....
Favorite spot?
Hard to say. I've been around half the world and every state in the US at least once. Picking a "favorite" after seeing that much of the world is hard to do. A favorite spot would be along Lake Michigan near Sleeping Bear Dunes State Park on the Michigan side. If you've never been there...it's hard to describe, but it's an awesome place to see.
Equipment used:
FL Studio, SampleTank 2 and a small plethora of synths and FX plugins, and a Triton LE
Anything else...?
Anything goes, eh?? Nothing profound or prophetic....just realistic: I hope everyone enjoys what they hear. At the least, I hope it entertains. That's my goal. If you end up taking a mental journey during a piece, fantastic!!!
