Beautiful or not, music surrounds us. It influences our lives and guides our vision. Not convinced? Then Abbey Road is just a street, and The Darkside of the Moon is something that only astronauts will ever see.

I write, record, and play all the instruments to these songs. Critics will say I have a long way to go as a musician – but one thing is certain, most critics are better at being critics than at writing and recording their own music.

I have always loved music. I was in a band called Clover in college. Clover was a great experience, and even though I am not a part of that band, I have never stopped writing and recording. I love how raw records sound from bands like Sonic Youth and The Pixies. I want that for my music, which is why all parts to my songs are recorded in one take.
