It is a hard thing to admit because it's not easy to expose yourself to caring deeply about something that is subjective on so many levels. But I couldn't ignore my intuitive feelings to move forward and that being said, I dove in. After a mental block of the first 25 years of my life, something opened up and my first song emerged. Since that time I have written several songs and enjoyed the success of playing in clubs around the Seattle area to a growing audience. Mostly I am accompanied by other musicians in performances but I do occasionally play solo.
I think that the words are almost the most important aspect of a song because if a song doesn't say something the music is empty. My music is somewhat abstractly introspective. Initially I fought the notion that the songs that seem to emerge through me in any way resembled my life. But in retrospect I find a lot of personal meaning in my words. As the creator I have one idea about what my songs mean but as a performer and musician I give my songs to you to fulfill your own meanings.
