ABOUT

Undeniable! A voice that projects with crisp clarity spiced with a soulful smooth tone. A rhythmic strum reminiscent of that motown groove yet structure obscures the genra which marks his signature. Each song differs from the next and still with passionate words he maintains that connection.

Influences

I'm Truely influenced by songs with strong meaningful lyrics. Basically singer/ songwriters such as John Lennon, Jim Croche, James Taylor, Dave Mathews, even Rob Thomas of The Cure. Growing up though I would have to say the Beattles and the Stones. I also got to hear a lot of the old standards like Frank Sinatra, Nat KIng Cole, Johnny Mathis Then in my teenage years I got into funk like Lakeside, Earth Wind and Fire, Gap Band.I even got into the new wave scene like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and New Order.I guess I'm just influenced by music in general
