Lyricist/Songwriter - and music aficionado.

Band/artist history

You are seeing it, unfold.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Initially, I did some performing in public (bars, community events, praise bands, and street fairs). Followed by a period of.. re-interpreting songs made famous by popular artists. - A process that I started to find rather intriguing for a while. Now, It's primarily about writing new music & enjoying the creative process.

Your musical influences

Anything and everything that I have ever heard has influenced me... in one way, or another.

What equipment do you use?

Bass, guitar and keyboards... mostly. 
And, using DAW's for recording & producing projects to flesh out musical ideas.

Anything else?

I have always believed that the job of an artist has never been to merely reflect the status quo.

I feel the artist is also obligated to entertain, amuse, & educate... and, also to shock, appall, stimulate, irritate, and shatter old perceptions... while pushing the public in new directions they had never imagined.

As an artist, I don't want audiences to feel comfortable and familiar with my work. 

If someone experiences my art (in whatever form) and doesn't... feel love, hate, admiration, disdain, anger, sadness, or repulsion, then I would view that as a monumental failure.
