Artist description
S. D. Anderson began performing at age 4, playing piano and singing in recitals. Music was ever present in his family but it was literature that first captured his imagination and his fascination
with the 'music of words' has remained with him. The guitar became a life-long passion after his mother taught him the first chords, around the age of 8. He began playing professionally at age
13 and thus began a journey that has taken him on many roads. Anderson's steadfast refusal to compromise has made commercial success somewhat elusive, but has helped distinguish him
as one of our most original and compelling composer / guitarist / vocalists. Anderson's involvement with literature and his natural feel for poetry and music have long co-existed, forging a highly
original voice,that of a true visionary. His music defies genre and flows from an inner-source, which Anderson speaks of simply as 'inspired'. Rather than approaching music competitively or to
satisfy the ego, Anderson is interested in, "..using the creative process to extend an inspired concept or theme... to discover an 'essence' and develop it compositionally and through improvisation." |
