The music here is just me. So far I haven't really collaborated with anyone. I have an acoustic guitar, sing, and play keyboards. The songs here have been written in the last ten years or so.

I like to write and record songs. I wrote my first song for creative writing class in high school. During college I sang and travelled, throughout the United States, with several small predominately-vocal ensembles. I recorded a CD with one group, and recorded for the radio with another. I also played guitar and keyboards with a rock band. Since then I have written and recorded a lot of songs, but mostly on my own.

I play keys in my church's worship band. I sometimes sing solos while I play guitar or piano. I like to be a worshipper and hope all my music flows from that.

I studied classical music composition in college, so that has a big influence. Another major influence is the music I hear in church or play with my worship team (hymns, gospel and contemporary Christian worship music).

I have a 1.2 GHz machine with 768 MB of memory. It is a bit old, so I am limited to 16-bit recording. I have a Samson 16-bit, USB condenser microphone, and a drum set designed for a child to learn on. Other than that, I record with old Seagull electrified acoustic guitar.
