These are songs I recorded with my friend Marlon, thus a MerJer (Marlon/Jim).

No, we're only writing and recording for now.

It gives new artists a venue to showcase their music without being subjected to the harsh reality of the Music Biz and having to sell their soul to get airplay.

That remains to be seen, possibly but on my terms.

Marlon and I have been writing songs together for over two years now. You can check out stuff he's recorded with other artists under the alias Ambient White Noise.

As a drummer I lean towards Neil Peart, he's always been my hero. Vocally, I dig guys like Darius Rucker, Edwin McCain, Rob Thomas and Brett Scallions

I'd have to say Italy, I spent four years in the country and it was awesome

We record with Sonar, SoundForge, and tons of plug-ins. I run Roland V-Drums, great for recording! I use an Ampeg Amp thru a Crate 4x10 and a Crown Headset Mic.
