Bio
Hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, now settled in the Endless Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, I was raised on a healthy diet of Chicago-style rhythm & blues, classic rock, classical Composers, opera, bluegrass, jazz, metal... anything you can think of.
My father, being a professional drummer, taught me that life is a series of rhythms and beats and that we all have our own thang goin' on. That obviously made a huge impression on me.
I've always been a singer, and I've always written my own songs from the melodies swirling around in my head. I never had any idea I would eventually do anything with that, it's like turning breathing into an art form, which is pretty damned cool.
My musical education has been a lifelong one of exposure, and spending much time with other musicians in the midst of their creations and performance. I've studied voice, guitar, piano, theory, and songwriting, but continue to have a thirst for more inventive ways to express a thought musically. I find the whole process of songwriting relaxing and exhilarating. I never stick to a standard or follow a formula, however I hear the music is how it will be. I love to write lyrics, the more interesting to sing the better. Everywhere I go I bring a guitar to noodle on should inspiration strike.
My muses/inspirations are many and could be anything from a conversation, to a billboard, or even the back of a shampoo bottle.
