A former lead guitarist / lead vocalist in cover groups; I left music completely for a time. Now recording my own songs for a Contemporary Christian CD project.
Why this name?
I go by my own name, but the group I guest act with J-Funk & The Wildlife Management Crew has a hidden meaning in their name. If you're in the area when we play, come see us and ask them about it.
Do you play live?
I recently began playing my original songs live as a guest artist with a group called J-Funk & The Wildlife Management Crew. It's a blast playing with this group, they do their original music and comedy as well. We play a coffee house show every first Saturday of the month from 7-9PM at Cafe Forte in Mequon, WI. I also play in a Sunday night service with Helpings Hands Ministry in Hartford, WI and sometimes with my church's worship team. Hope to do more live once the first CD is done.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Great opportunities out there; I have some learning to do to take advantage it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Would love to sign a deal, but would be equally happy having established artists record my songs.
Your influences?
Styles - Rock, Classical, Jazz/Jazz Fusion.
Artists/Bands - Beatles, Eagles, Kansas, Phil Keaggy, Steven Curtis Chapman, Tommy Walker, Out Of The Grey, Rich Mullins, Petra
