My name is somewhere between Rod Stewart and Tony Danza!! This word mnemonic is the best one I have ever thought of to remember my name.

I have had a couple of different radio interviews, was played frequently on both Komo and KJR in Seattle by DJ Pat Cashman. I performed with several famous drummers backing me at a charity event....that was quite a special moment. I also sang at The Triple Door(in Seattle Wa.) This event was a charity for Ray Allan's Ray of Light. I sang live next at The Qwest Field Exhibition Hall in Seattle on Sat. May 13th,2006. This event is a charity event to support the next attempt to break the world record for the number of drummers drumming to one song. I hope you can be there to be part of the event. Last year there were over 500 drummers at the Tacoma Dome. KZOK radio station- in Seattle Washington, USA was the sponsor of this charity event. Most recently I sang at Studio 7 in the south end of Seattle. Some of my friends sang with me. The sound man there, Scott, was really good and made for a rockin great time!

This is a great question!! The internet is changing EVERYTHING -including music. This wonderful format allows anyone a chance to have people from all over the world listen to your music. There is no dependence on a record company or promoter or anyone else, just the world public. This means you just get out there and see what happens. I learned long ago that an artist can not judge themselves. It takes others to judge you. You are simply the creator. For instance, If you take a painter that takes the time to complete a work and then others see the art work. Then THEY judge it-- not you the artist. You are simply the creator not the judge. This is most often true for music because you can not hear yourself as others do. Its because your physical matter...ear bones,skull and stuff get in the way of really hearing what you sound like. So it must be that others hear in you what you do not hear in your self. Put simply, others make the decision as to if you are "good" or not. NOT you!!! Oh one more thing its not simply the hits you get on soundclick.com its the RATIO OF HITS VS PLAYS that determine your depth as an artist. For if you are both hit and played it is then that you can measure your overall success in music. For example, if you have 10 hits and 10 plays then you have a ratio of one. If on the other hand you have 10 hits and 20 plays then you have a ratio of 2 to one. My claim is that you wish that ratio to be as big as possible! For it is then that your depth as an artist is understood by the people who listen to you.

I would consider signing a record contract if and only if the contract was suitable to both myself and the label wanting to sign me. The money should not be the main consideration but rather the process of recording for the label would be my main emphasis. I have set a informal world record by being accompanied by some 1500 drummers. I am not aware of any artist that has been backed by this many full sets of drums.

I was discoved in a music class in 1999 by Maria Lujan. From there I produced a couple of music cd's just for the fun of it. One of the cd's landed in the hands of Pat Cashman who was a DJ for KOMO at the time. Pat fell in love with my sound and played my stuff on KOMO all the time. When Pat changed stations and audiences with a move to KJR, he took my music with him. He often played it on KJR in contrast to the original artist. My association with Pat has led to my participation in the Woodstick events for the past 3 years. You can check out the latest Woodstick report under the news section. I have been an Artist on Soundclick for just a short time. I will say its a great site, my music has been well received by the listening public. I have had 5 songs that have gone to number 1 thus far. Many of my songs have been downloaded around the world in at least 70 countries . My songs have placed in the top 25 in two genres, rock and comedy. Finally, I have songs in 7 main genres, with a total of 76 songs in all.

Some people who influenced me are Buddy Holly, Tommy James, Elvis ,The Everly Brothers and The Rolling Stones.I enjoy all types of music, there is nothing I won't try. My music was originally classified as classic rock but many people would argue that it is really punk or maybe Euro Trash Lounge Punk is a more accurate description. For example Tom Collens, a music professor, at the University of Washington indicated that my half rap half rock style is unique in rock and roll history. He teaches the history of rock and roll at the university. I have been given extensive breathing and singing technique by David Kyle, known as the Mistro around the world. He really put his thinking on my singing. He worked with such stars as Hellen Ready, Children's artist Tim Noah, John Wayne, and a whole host of others.

Seattle.....of course...San Diego is a great city also...St Augustine Fl. is great...and Paris and Vancover Canada are great also. Cabo San Lucas is a small really fun city with unreal blue water the likes I have never seen in the Sea of Cortez.

Most of my songs were done in studios using a Neuman microphone model U-87. This is the best German microphone ever produced. It generates a warm sound.

WARNING!!!! My music style tends to be addictive. It is unique, my own, and it seems that people absolutely love it or absolutely hate it.I was taught by Maestro David Kyle, a world renowned music teacher who celebrated my 4 1/2 octave range and encouraged me to continue with my music passion. Everyone is different and interprets music individually. I enjoy input and opinions of others even when they differ from my own. If everyone were the same it would be a boring world. Some people say my music is "feel good" music and uplifting! I have been told by people who listen to my music that the pets around them also listen and respond in a positive way. I understand this is not usual and if you notice something odd or different about the way in which your pet acts then please contact me and let me know. I would really appreciate that!
