Acoustic at heart.

I always thought I wasn't good enough so I tried harder at everything (still do). Fled to Miami to study music. Thought I sucked at music, booked bands.

Upon my return to NYC I created my latest and greatest, found here in digital form. I've always been inspired by just about everything and now I feel like I'm ready to give that back. And maybe you'll be listening and think: "Hey, I've had that feeling too..."
So To You,
