BIOGRAPHY

The only way to know about my style of music is to listen to the clip, and decide if it moves you. No one knows what you are looking for, or what will influence your deep feelings. If you hear sadness in my songs, and the futility of life, in its transience, resonates within you, then you might feel something of importance in what I am trying to convey, which are attempts to describe the essence of what life's experiences represent, so easily trivialized with words.
