For me the process of recording and composing this music has been such a learning experience. At the beginning I felt as though I could hear the album from start to finish; that every aspect of each piece was well thought out, and that all there was left to do was record. However, in several sessions, the allure of a new direction proved to be more appealing. The first time I heard many of these tunes outside of my mind was the day of the recording. Spontaneity in the studio has produced some of my most memorable musical moments, regarding composition and interpretation.
This project was to be a cohesive representation of who I am as an artist, yet it has become much more than simply that. This album captures the process of finding my musical identity.
My style is a reflection of my taste in music. I gravitate towards hypnotic grooves of neo-soul and R&B, as well as, the music of seminal guitar heros of the past and present. The mesmerizing ambiance of electronic and experimental music is also very appealing to me.
My sound is a confluence of my favorite aspects of different styles. I combine strong grooves with unique harmonic textures and a very lyrical approach to melody. My music is subtly sophisticated, enough so to satisfy an aficianado, yet appealing to the casual (non-musician) listener.
