I enjoy what I do and I strive not to be the best but to be myself and express myself accordingly. If people happen to get something out of it... well... then that's just a bonus.
Do you play live?
I've played live a few times. I haven't really had the opportunity as of late, but I'm confident that now I could come up with a sufficient lineup of songs to play.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The only way it changes the music industry is broadens the availability of music to the masses. Music is something we all need in one way or another and there's no better way to come in contact with all sorts of music than something like the internet.
As for the mp3, it needs to die. It sounds terrible because it's horribly compressed. We need some kind of variable bit rate, smartly compressed format as the new standard.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. I think that would really allow me to better my music and really create the sound that I want, not just settle for something.
Band History:
I've been recording music in some way nearly all of my life. I've been writing music as long as I can remember and singing just as long.
Your influences?
Originally it was bands with the smoothness of Jimmy Eat World, the jazz-rock of Maroon 5, and the smooth relaxation of Brett Bixby. Really, it's been a culmination of whatever I hear.
