Artist description I am a hobby musician, originally from Detroit, MI. When I moved to Lakewood, OH 1½ years ago, I decided to try, with the support of my friends, to get my music heard at local open mics, and through local musicians. I have been wanting to try this for more than 6 years, and I didnt have the guts to try it in Detroit. I do not consider myself very good, but I do give myself credit for trying, besides it makes me feel happy, and it is one my biggest dreams to perform and to make my own CD. I certainly need piano, guitar and singing lessons for sure, anybody out there willing to help? I have come to realize a few very important things while playing out at the open mics. There is so much amazing talent to be heard, every musician tries and gives their best performance, and many musicians out there are starving! So please, it is very important that you support the local musicians! Cheer them on and Buy their CDs!

Music Style Electronic

Musical Influences Many 80's electronic bands, Shonen Knife, Hang on the Box

Artist History I found my first synthesizer, a MINT Casio CZ-1, in the trash when I was living in Japan back in 1996. That is when and how I started. Since then, I became very interested in sound synthesis, MIDI, and everything that goes along with Digital or Analog equipment, including playing and composing music. There is still so much to learn!
