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.

Hey Girlie Girl! I'm going to be sort of MIA next week and this weekend, since I have a lot of schoolwork to do. I added a clip of "Madame Butterfly" on my page that you might enjoy if you have time. :)
Oh I am not in until Saturday 11-7:30 so I am not sure if I will get to see you then or not. :) Glad to hear you had a nice week visiting your fam... I miss mine can't wait to go there in Feb.
