Artist description Call me a hopeful Alan Parsons of the 21st century. I take an ecclectic musical background and add it to whatever I happen to be doing at the time, throw in a few loops, and voila.... At best, I'm a casual musician, and I get bloody fed up with people saying that I cannot be a real musician if I don't dedicate every aspect of my life to it. I don't expect to live off my music, I just want to be heard--that's why I'm earning a degree in journalism. I consider myself a quintissential Renaissance Man. It's all for the love of the game.
