Artist description I'm a software engineer, and writing songs is my hobby. I had to give it up for a number of years after I injured my wrists, but I'm back now with the help of MIDI and other digital technology.

Music Style All over the map

Musical Influences Bowie, Kate Bush, Midnight Oil -- but I don't sound like any of these

Similar Artists I don't think anyone who sounds like me is popular. ;-)

Artist History I started writing songs when I was in college in the late 80's. Back then I played bass, keyboard, and some guitar. I also programmed drums on a mac and recorded my songs on a cheap 4-track. And I did a couple live gigs. Then I took a break from it, and I injured my wrists before I could take it up again, so there was an 8-year interruption. I still can't really practice as much as I used to, so no live gigs for me. But MIDI and overdubs allow me to correct those mistakes which I choose to correct.

Group Members Me. Maybe I'll have a guest guitarist at some point in the future, but so far all songwriting, playing, singing, and recording is solely by me.

Instruments For my recent songs: Yamaha PSR-540, occasionally a guitar

Albums The Outsider (1990-91), Second Wind (2000-2001 in progress)

Press Reviews I like to read press reviews. No one's ever written one about me, though.
