Music is the healing art of the the human condition. Artistic expression is the cerebral and spiritual connection between the artist and audience. Music is life, the expression of all things beautiful, harmony and emotion.
To create art that is appreciated and shared among friends. To achieve the highest possible form of expression that makes others happy! To leave a legacy of sounds for many even after I’m gone.
The human condition of spiritual depravity, depression and mental illness. To elevate my brothers and sisters who suffer from their proverbial prisons.
Tom Sawyer from Rush, it was the first song I learned on my first drum kit as a kid.
I have many different favorite groups and genres. Kings X, Trouble, Rush, The Skull and Dream Theatre. My current influences include a variety of genres from Americana, Classical, Techno, Electronica, Industrial, Metal, Rock, Blues etc. Their are way too man y to list.
It’s the highest form of artistic expression.
To explore every emotion without limitations.
Authentic and connected!
I believe musicians are unappreciated and overlooked unless your producing what the corporate industry demands. I believe independent artists are the solution.
Time will tell. I think the concept is noble.
The corporate music industry.
Of course, I attend shows and support local music as my schedule allows.
Learn to market, do the hard work and write the music you want to hear. Don’t let others tell you how you should sound. Believe in what you do and be passionate about your art. Know your niche market and reach them one person at a time. There are billions of people, someone will eventually listen when you are passionate and persistent.
