Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I usually just end up playing live at partys and for friends. I love performing, in the past I've played shows with Bands.
Special Moments....probably when we went on after a band that drove the crowd away and I started to sing and I looked up after the first song and there were like twice as many people as before.
Your musical influences
I'm extremely diverse in my listenings...um
I like things that can change the way you think about a subject or an opinion...everything from the classics like Floyd and the Doors to newer sounds like Bjork or whatever... I love the musical conception...if someone really works hard on something worthwhile and meaningful I'll listen to it.
