Mostly a self taught musician/songwriter. My influences are 60's/70's/80's rock/pop groups/artists(yeah, you know who they are, all the usuals). After a career in the art field(animating for television: Dr Katz, Home Movies, O'Grady for Soup2Nuts) my then girlfriend(now wife) bought me a guitar for Christmas and I'd like to say, "The rest is history", but that would be lying. I took lessons(and grew bored as I didn't become Jimmy Page overnight) and it wasn't until I found a program on my iMac named GarageBand that really sparked my interest. To be able to express myself with words and music and record it! I thought I was so great making that first recording(it wasn't) and luckily one of my REAL musician friends told me to try and make everything as perfect as possible before moving onto the next part. So a 15 year odyssey started. I still am far from perfect, but hopefully getting a bit better all the time!
