Influences
Police, Collective Soul, Cifford Brown, Janet Jackson, Eric Johnson, Miles Davis, Douglas Sills, Parliament, Scott Henderson, Wolfie Mozart, Pat Metheny, Robben Ford, Bela Bartok, Def Leppard, Joe Diorio, Van Halen, George Michael, AC/DC, Claude Debussy, Boston, Steve Vai, Carl Verheyen, Charlie Parker, Igor Stravinsky, Steve Reich, Beatles, JS Bach, Richard Smith, Steve Watson, Aerosmith, various pop and rock songwriters too numerous to mention. Do I sound like any one of these folks? No. But they are there for me in varying degrees in my conciousness when I write, play, and produce, depending on the style, vibe, and song.
Sounds Like
I don't try to imitate anyone; I just have absorbed a lot of material over the years. I make the kind of albums I'd want to listen to so the CDs have their own unique sound. My goal is to make every song really strong so you enjoy the whole album and take a sonic and emotional journey from song 1 to song 12. I can't stand buying a CD and hearing 1 or 2 good songs with a bunch of filler. I want to give listeners something worth spending their money on. But if I had to compare I'd say I'm in the stylistic ballpark of Cold Play, Police, Vertical Horizon, and sometimes Collective Soul.
