80s indie pop...cool synths, omnichords, stylophones, vintage drum machine sound and beats, the nerdiest cool music. does anyone know where i can get a tronichord????
I've had a lot of influence from swedish pop and have cowritten for Cyndi Lauper on her Grammy-nominated 2008 release "Bring Ya To The Brink". I am a member of ASCAP and signed to Warner-Chappell for publishing. Thanks for checking out my music and maybe supporting my work! I really love music, the process of making it, and exploring new sounds and material. I especially love vintage instruments and 80s sounds. Any suggestions, comments or opportunities to play my music are greatly appreciated!
