Q: How did you get involved in music initially, and later as a career?
A: Like a lot of musicians, playing in bands as a teenager, and it just became more and more serious and took on different forms.
Q: Talk about your sound and how you arrived at it. Has your music evolved over the years?
A: When you build up your own little studio, your “sound” is part necessity – you work with what you have and what you can afford and you make the most of it by using your ear and your taste to guide you. My sound is guitar-based rock mostly, but there are certain instrument blends that I gravitate towards, like acoustic and electric guitars blended with strings or piano.
Q: Who are some of your biggest musical influences?
A: I actually don’t listen to a whole lot of music because I’m making it all of the time.
Q: What inspires you creatively and artistically? Describe your creative process.
A: The process really starts with something from within, like an on the fly chord progression, a simple guitar part, a drum beat - building on something simple most of the time. Sometimes the first idea is the best and you flesh it out.
Q: What is your proudest moment or greatest accomplishment as a musician?
A: There isn’t a single moment really – more of pride in the overall career.
Q: What’s next for you?
A: Just keep trying to get better at composition, production, and performance.
