Influences
I like music that has a lot of power or fast interesting twists and turns. I like music that seems unique to me, because I like music that makes life easier, and makes people feel motivated to advance their lives. I know all music can be beneficial, but I particularly like music that hasn't been invented yet, something based on real principles, so that the music really has a lot to offer.
EQUIPMENT
I've got a PA, software (Melodyne, Cubase SX, Reason, etc.), a Firewire mixer/interface, a vocal processor (Telecom VoicePrism Plus), a Roland JV-1010 synth, and a computer (PC).
