About me: MySpace LayoutsMySpace CodesMySpace Backgrounds
I sing, play piano, guitar and write songs. My past resume includes Beauty's Confusion's 2002 EP and 2004's full length "Breathe In" (www.beautysconfusion.net), Playstation's Full Auto soundtrack featuring a collaboration (one of a handful) with Bitstream Dream, as well as guest vocals on Glenn Kidd's first full length, "Aura of Grace". Presently, I am writing songs for a not too distant solo release.
