Still working on cover songs (a couple hundred done, around 800 to go...)
I hate false vibrato - so I am exploring beyond it (don't know where I'm going, but I'm exploring!)
My singing? It's what any singer's first takes sound like (and I have no reason to go beyond it - impressing you with technical gymnastics or useless precision isn't my top priority; why, it isn't even on my artistic To Do List!)
'Who' I sound like - no one, because everyone is caught-up in fake vibrato, which is detestable! (as it drowns-out so many other expressive qualities, which I am exploring and struggling to bring to light)...
Artistic Note on Singing: There is so much potential richness and depth in the human voice already - which is ruined and lost when a singer employs fake, mechanical vibrato (that not driven by emotions or the lyrics).

Why this name?
longtime online name
Do you play live?
No, but I have many ideas
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
direct audience access; easier A&R and artist interaction; easier access to the work of others
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
For their creative resources.

Your influences?
Everything, good and bad.
Favorite spot?
Haven't found. A few palm trees would be nice.
Equipment used:
Cheap - I'm going for raw talent.
Anything else...?
1.) Do what you can with what you have.
2.) Don't judge a mountain by a pebble (others by one creation).
3.) The media (hence public) will always identify you by your Jabberwocky piece, so make it a good one.
4.) I can't wait until I can create on studio-grade equipment with professional engineers behind me and hype departments taking glossy photos of me and giving me glowing reviews, but I'm not holding my breath...!
