Band/artist history
Well, I don't want to bore you with the story of my life, but basically I have played french horn and trumpet for what seems like forever, and I started playoing guitar about two years ago, and picked up bass somewhere along the way. And I didn't realize that I could sing until my friend Ben heard me and tpold me. I still don't think I am a very good singer, and that's what I have been working on alot.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I am getting ready to start playing live alot, and I still have a lot of work to do.
Your musical influences
Damien Rice, James Taylor, Head Automatica, Ben Kweller, The Flaming Lips, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Nirvana, Radiohead, Secrect Machines
What equipment do you use?
I have a Fender Deluxe bass, an Ibanez Artcore customized, a strat that I built, a 5-string fretless bass, a piece of shit arbor acoustic that I tore all of the frets out of. I record with a Yamaha AW16G hard disk recorder, Audio-Technica, Shure, and Oktava microphones, Cakewalk Sonar, Acid Pro, Pro Tools, Reason, Propellorhead, and BeSting.
