Musical Influences My influences are too varied to mention but I will say that different types of music accompanies different aspects of my life...from classical to metal I listen and use it all.

Similar Artists One reviewer said I sound like 'a hip Paul Simon'. Someone else compared my songwriting style to John Lennon - that's pretty cool.

Artist History I've been performing my whole life. When I was 13 years old my counsin, Richie, taught me my first chord. When I strummed the strings he said, "And now you're making music.". For the past ten years I've played in countless night clubs and bars, coffeehouses and lunch rooms. My career was tragically cut short when my brother (my biggest fan) was diagnosed with leukemia in the midst of making my first CD. I came home to spend time with him and my family and put my carreer and the recording on hold. On a very sunny and warm day in May, 1994 he died. What followed were years of personal and professional reconstruction. To get back on track, and to fulfill a promise I made to my brother, I had to make this CD. I am glad to say that, with the help of over 40 of my friends, fans and family memebers, over eight thousand dollars was raised for the making of my first CD. With every end... a new beginning.
