-Music Connection
Sooooooooooo, this is my bio. First things first - I hate bios. No flashy adjectives or 3rd person subjectivity could possibly make my life nearly as fascinating as that of any of my idols (pick one? Stevie Wonder. Pick another? The Beatles - yeaaaahhhhh, NOW I sound like a serious songwriter). Hell, I could even go as far as to create some kind of intellectual persona for myself that overemphasizes how much my music is ìunderscored with vivid, 'cinematifikery', or that I'm 'blazing musical territory that was until now uncharted'. But, honestly folks, that's just not me.
Seriously, what do you really need to know about me? I went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA - that was pretty (expensive) cool. Good times. Graduated in 1999 with a degree in songwriting. Oh yeah, my son, Tyler - LOVES my music. He squeals and screams along with "Burning the Days" every time he hears it in the car twisting down Sepulveda on the way home from work. No accolade could ever possibly top that kind of review.
I suppose the most important thing you need to know about me, (much like many people doing my kind of gig) is that I am OBSESSED with all kinds of music and quite simply LOVE this music thing I do. Some people are Star Wars geeks and have to have a set of Boba Fett pajamas, or still keep their coolest Return of the Jedi action figures in a case shaped like Darth Vader's head in the toy chest in their living room that doubles as a coffee table. Me? I spend my Tuesday afternoons at Amoeba Music, gluttonously scouring the new releases and digging through the used racks searching for the next 'Revolver' to my ears. Or Iím rummaging through the thesaurus searching for the synonyms and euphemisms for experiencing an elevated state of consciousness, because how many different ways can you say that before people get the wrong idea? Really? Thatís right mom, the WRONG IDEA.
Anyway, it was this undeniable passion that gave me no choice but to embark on this crazy musical journey of mine. I moved out to LA about two years ago with my dog, a bottle of whiskey, and a suitcase full of songs - oh, and my wife (who, at this time has not left me or shot the dog). I started playing at this little
