Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Played in the band Exit during high school, and moved from drums, to bass, to guitar, to keyboards, to singer !
Since I come from a small town, we only did a few local gigs, but they were well recieved.
When the other band members went to college, I decided to go solo, and have been refining my songwriting abilities for a while now. Ideally I would like to write love songs for exceptionally talented singers with a good identity, as I am aware my voice is not the best!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Haven't played live solo, but while in the band "Exit", we played some minor functions such as a New Year cruise.
Your musical influences
Ballad, similar in style to Phil Collins, Elton John, Jackson Browne.
What equipment do you use?

Yamaha MD4 multitracker, Roland XP-50 keyboard, Crafter semi-acoustic, Alesis Microverb.
