Bio
Ain't gonna give you any propaganda. Listen to the record and keep your eyes peeled for the new one, or come to a show. I have best heard my music described as "well-crafted lyrics layered within an eclectic blend of references from Motown to current pop music"
I am just living day by day trying to keep it simple and truthful.
I grew up without making music, until somewhere in my early twenties I just wrote a song, resulting eventually in my first album, "Joy Control".
At this time I feel as though I am approaching my true artistic vein, and hopefully the coming sophomore record will be replete with what I consider to be my true style.
It would be amazing to play a show in Finland. Maybe the next project will go huge there.
Remember, eternity is the primary reality.
