BIOGRAPHY
I keep trying to type something here, only for a white page to follow... Once more, then. After years on end helping people out with their projects and musical aspirations, I stepped into 2011 with a major goal: write, record, and release (digitally, that is) 12 albums of my own music, all recorded and mixed by me. My RPM Challenge submission is 2/3 of Album #3 (Hey, they only asked for 35 minutes!), of which the remaining four tracks have now been recorded, and all more carefully mixed (you try mastering eight songs in one night, and the two previous days spent last-minute overdubbing and mixing... If you're reading this, you probably did). Enjoy!

Completed Albums

Newsound Same(2011)

Loosely based on the musical styles of John Mayer, Fleetwood Mac, '80s-era Joni Mitchell, America, Jason Mraz, power pop, Harmonium, and the Eagles. Conceptually, I look at the possibility of being musically relevant in an era in which many listeners prefer instantly forgettable background music to actual substance.
