About Me |
|
| Allow myself to introduce...myself.I am a producer, songwriter influenced by Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Steeley Dan, Bob Marley, Earth Wind and Fire and the Jackson 5.What I write is meant to elevate humanity to higher realms in a contemporary jazz, pop fashion. Creating lasting standards to test time is my goal. The feedback from talent is that lyrically and melodically my work is rich and appeals to the body, heart and mind of the listener.Commonly my songs are love songs. The music is born when I find an area of my life where I am suffering in some way or longing for something. Somewhere the songs protagonist is keeping him/herself small. Invariably I use my own experience for this. Inside all of my work is a degree of transformation, growth, newness and life - a novel way of seeing things.Afternoons, you can find me singing melodies into a voice recorder while wandering around the neighborhood, adoring my wife, and taking out the trash. | |
