Why this name?
My mother gave it to me..
Do you play live?
Here, there, wherever... For the most part I like to go back and forth between L.A. and Norman, Oklahoma.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
i think that the internet and mp3's have made it much easier for independent artists to be heard. With the internet a band or solo artist no longer has to be backed by a major label or thousonds of dollars just to get their music listened to by the public. I think with a little luck and a little love perhaps us independent artists might just be able to crash the whole system!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
hell ya! i mean who's going to say no to free money!
