1. How did you get into music?
My family has always been involved in music. My grandfather
started a guitar store in his basement many years ago that
has since developed into a full Music & Sound store in
my hometown. Since I can remember I’ve been writing
lyrics and melodies but with nothing to back them up. So a
few years ago I decided that I would try out the guitar. I
fell in love with playing and writing music, so now here i
am.
2. What were your influences growing up?
When I was little I liked listening to the Monkees &
the Beatles. I got into a lot of pop stuff and i really
liked Amy Grant. Now, I listen to a lot of everything so
its really hard to pick specific influences. I’m
influenced by everything i listen to, which is a lot of
stuff.
3. What has the response been like to the
album?
So far its been really positive! People are pretty
impressed when they hear the new recordings and are very
complimentary.
4. What bands/artists have you enjoyed playing with the
most?
Most of the time i’m playing solo in a coffee house
somewhere but when i do play with other bands its really
fun. Probably my favorite band to play with is Kingsfoil.
The way i’d describe their music is “chill
acoustic.” Mostly because, and not in a cheesy way,
their music reminds me of a summer day.
5. Has the internet help you get your music out
there?
Most definitely. I mean I’m doing an interview with a
guy that lives in Australia. I think it might be
helping!
6. Have you had much response from labels since the
release of the album?
I haven’t sent the new album to any labels…yet. But
i plan to. I’m just looking for the right way to go
about it all.
7. Any chance of coming down under to play?
Haha, well i’d certainly love to! A world tour right
now though? Maybe if i get signed!
8. What is your view on file sharing and the mp3
format?
I’m not to crazy about mp3s right now only because I
had to condense some of my songs from a 44 mb file into a
3mb file to post on the internet. Then the sound quality is
very poor compared to the tracks on the CD. People just
don’t get a real feel for what it actually sounds
like. As for file sharing, I only have a problem with it if
people stop buying the albums. As and independent musician,
it helps me get my music to more people. I think if they
are really fans then they will go out and support the
musicians.
9. Any one you would really like to tour with?
John Mayer could be fun, cause i’m a big fan of his
music. it would also be cool to tour with people like
michelle branch or anna nalick cause they are both newer
female songwriters.
10. Have you had much response overseas?
I’ve sold a few cds to some people from Europe,
mostly England.
11. What would we find on your stereo at the
moment?
Well the iPod creates a variety so i’ve been
listening to some citizen cope, ben lee, dave matthews,
rachael yamagata & ray LaMontagne.
12. Realty TV? good or bad?
Good. I’m guilty of watching it every now and
then.
13. What movies have you enjoyed recently?
just saw “the longest yard” &
“monster-in-law” at the drive in and they were
both pretty funny.
14. What are your favourite movies?
I’m not a fan of any kind of scary movie. Even if its
one of those, “its not that scary” kinda
movies, i’m not going to like it. I’m more of a
the romantic comedy / funny movie type. (I guess that makes
me a sucker for a chick flick as well.) So i like movies
like a walk to remember, save the last dance, miss
congeniality, that thing you do, & the
notebook…
15. If you were on The Simpsons what would you be
doing?
haha sorry to say, i don’t watch the simpsons all
that often but possibly…singing on their radio??
Thanks to Brooke Annibale,She will go far mark my
words
