about me
As an active listener and creator of music, I am constantly amazed at how much music has the power to enrich my life. My earliest musical influences, which varied from The Cure to De La Soul to Bob Marley, each left an immense impression on me. Nowadays I try to be equally open to music that comes from a variety of places. Regardless of the musical style, the immediacy of the music is what pulls me in and captivates me.
