A personal note:

“Human beings are complex, and no one likes to be put into a ‘box’. Because I am interested in so many subjects, I bring many dimensions to my music and lyrics. I use the full depth and breadth of my personal and artistic experience for everything I create. I’m confident that at least one of my songs will touch you in a deep and personal way. Thanks for your interest."
