A lot of people say my music sounds like Steely Dan or that my songs have the biting wit of Beck. I suppose there’s some truth to that but it’s not intentional believe me. I’ll be just hanging out when Bam!! some idea hits me and suddenly I’m playing guitar or banging out some chords on my keyboard or wailing away into my microphone. I make all my music alone with the exception of when I work with a guest musician. But when I’m writing a new song I never feel alone. I feel like there’s a whole band at work, invisibly there beside me helping me to compose the music and write the words. And the verses and choruses, the bits and pieces come together eventually melding into a fixed moment in time to be remembered forever in the digital domain.
