I have always felt a strong passion for music, then 8 years ago started feeling the need to try and create my own music. I have no formal music training, and started out by buying a cheap guitar and learning to play it on my own. Even when I could barely play a few chords on guitar I started trying to write my own songs, I would compose musical ideas in my head but had a hard time translating my ideas through my limited musical skills.

Around 2001 I was amazed by the solo project released by John Frusciante, who is well known for his fame as guitar player for Red Hot Chili Peppers. His release "To Record Only Water for Ten Days" was a great inspiration to me, I was most impressed that he had created the album entirely by himself...guitar, synth, percussion and vocals. This album served as my inspiration to complete an album start to finish by myself.

I began reading about the process of recording music and the first recording device I used was a 4-track tape recorder, but through continued trial and error and study I slowly acquired the means to record onto my computer. With each new song I write and record I learn a few more tricks, and the sound quality has improved as my home studio has expanded.

One of the biggest upgrades to my home studio was the purchase of Ableton Live, which has helped to make the process of recording a song much quicker and of much higher quality than previous efforts. I am attempting to use Ableton Live to perform my "one man band" dream on stage.

All of my songs are created entirely by myself, no other hands have touched or contributed to my music in any way. I push record before each guitar take, and I audition the takes myself and then mix and produce my songs using Ableton. I use electronic drums, synths, acoustic and electric guitars and a variety of effects to expand the musical possibilities of my songs.
