it's a funny story... so my parents came up with this name for me, and it kinda stuck...

Back in the boston area, hopefully you'll see me around. sign up for the mailing list to know when shows are.

i think a lot of signed artists have lost sight of why mp3s are so valuable. they claim that their record sales are way down and they aren't receiving as much profit as they'd like. however, i bet in most cases, because of free music sharing, they have more fans. it shouldn't all be about making money. it should be about influencing as many people as possible with your art. i would probably have a total of 5 fans if it weren't for the internet and mp3s. for as long as possible, i want my songs to be available for download for free. thats how i get and spread my music, so i want to support it.

i want my music to be heard by as many people as possible. i don't wanna turn into a sellout, though i guess it can be hard to stop at some points. i would sign a contract with a label, but i don't want to lose what i'm all about in the process.

i got my guitar as i was turning 13. started out playing nirvana, bush, and 311. then it turned to dave matthews, guster, and counting crows. i started writing songs when i was about a junior in high school, even though i will probably never let anyone hear those ones. in college, i really started to learn how to develop a catchy sound on the guitar, but i struggled with writing meaningful lyrics and a melody that would keep people interested in what i had to say. my junior year in college, 2002-2003, is when i really started to produce songs that meant something to me and that i thought could mean something to other people. i think i will always struggle with writing meaningful lyrics, though every once in a while i can get something good to come out. i have always had the hardest time with producing good melodies, but again, every once in a while...
