ABOUT
I'm a singer, guitarist, and songwriter looking to start or join a band and collaborate on original music that is raw and honest. I prefer to work with musicians that have a DIY ethic, like to experiment, and take risks. I would describe my overall musical and personal style as edgy and soulful with a sense of humor. My influences should give you some sense for where my musical wheelhouse is.
