Artist History I guess I began writing songs in 1995, accompanying myself on the piano, which I didn't even really know how to play. It sucked, trust me. In December of 1997, I bought a thirty-dollar guitar at a pawn shop and resolved to teach myself how to play. Since then, I've written a bunch of songs, recorded and produced a six-track demo CD called "In A Day's Work" while attending Washington University in St. Louis.
