ABOUT

Creative, at times experimental. At other times I just like a song or idea so I do it no matter the genre. Trying to keep my ears and eyes open for inspiration. Trying to become a more well rounded musician and also to get free from self imposed limits. I hope to never stop learning. I want to do music for it's own sake but also hopefully use whatever ability I have to give what I can to society. So in composing and performing, collaborating I remember most audiences need some familiar component. I do also want to challenge the listener in the right ways. So in the end I just try to render whatever idea or inspiration well so that it might move the spirit. It's a fun experiment.
