Here's where I brag about all my record deals, endorsements, major achievements performing for royalty, etc. Except I hide in my studio (uh, bedroom) practicing guitar, ztar, bass, voice, learning how to program cool electronic blips & bloops...who has time to seek out fame? I guess I'd better get on the ball, as my dance moves are getting harder to pull off without needing my chiropractor afterward. Someone told me I should put my stuff on here so I could network. Or be laughed at, like when I tripped & fell on my butt in the middle of campus before class in 11th grade and this dude laughed as loud as he could, which attracted even MORE attention I wasn't seeking. Not that I dwell on it or anything. Er...just look at my pictures and listen to my songs. They're cool. ;)
Why this name?
Because I haven't registered my professional name yet...Ynf Pcfhng--pronounced "Jack Johnson".
Do you play live?
I've had many special moments playing my Ztar at Bay Area open mics. Special in that people either came up to me afterward to praise my genius or kept their silent distance as if I had a contagious disease! :)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
What, is this 1999, the days of MP3.com? I've had people from Europe, China and Australia buy my music. Exposure!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
A huge advance? Tour support? Mtv? Kickin' it at the Grammies? Gee...that's a tough one! But then I'd come off the road and learn that despite my selling ten million copies I still owed the label several hundred grand which would come out of royalties of my next three albums. Hmm...must continue thinking about why I'm here...
Your influences?
Peter Gabriel, Nine Inch Nails, Danny Elfman, Vai, Satriani, Journey, Duran Duran, Todd Rundgren, Atari 2600, VHS, Fun Dip, Gobstoppers.
Favorite spot?
I've been in San Francisco long enough, so I guess I'm here to stay!
Equipment used:
Fenders and Ibanezezez, an Ovation, a Vox, a bunch of Ikea furniture.
Anything else...?
Even more songs are available on my website. Stop by and say hi.
