I am essentially a one-man band. Though I had a band for a while to play the songs live with only the bass player has ever recorded with me. I write, record, engineer, produce, play, sing, mix, and master all these projects on my own. So that may account for some of their deficiencies but at least I get to execute my vision for the songs the way I want.

My goal is to somehow integrate doo-wopp (why did it cross that out?) and late 50s pop melody influences with an Americana roots-based songwriting approach (which I can't seem to get rid of no matter how hard I try) with the experimentation and instrumentation of mid-late 60s progressive pysch chamber pop. A friend of mine recently called it "modern freaked out Americana". I think I like that.
