Do you play live?
Yes.I do play live.Mostly in the NY tri-state area.I absolutely love to perform.The best moments are when I can get so deep into the music that the music just comes out on it's own,...and the audience responds to it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet levels the playing field.It gives musicians the power to control their own careers without the need for a major label.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes,but it would have to be the right deal.
Your influences?
Sly & the Family,Earth,Wind & Fire,Prince,Stevie Wonder,the Beatles,James taylor, and 70's funk music.
Favorite spot?
Upstate NY in October,when the leaves change colors.
Equipment used:
I'll use anything.If you can bang on it,beat it,pluck it,strum it,I'll play it.As long as I can get the sound in my head out into the world ,it really doesn't matter to me.My favorite instrument is the piano because there's always something new for me to discover on it.
Anything else...?
