With my background in both engineering and music(classical, jazz and rock), I am more than equipped to produce a good album. I also have a natural ear for melody and a creativity in how it might be presented.
As a student of the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, a member of multiple New Orleans-based bands, and general music glutton, I have written many styles of music and continue to constantly develop new ideas and push the bounds of pop music.

Who I'd like to meet: someone not fake. preferably someone who gives a damn about politics or loves music...especially punk or weirder stuff like mr bungle/residents.
Well, quirky is fine too. Even talking to yourself. They say as long as you don't answer yourself...but I do that, so I classify it as perfectly normal :p I've been busy putting things away and attempting to do yardwork...something I never had to do in an apartment.
Sup? I haven't been on AIM that much lately. I miss chatting with you!! I moved but still in the same city, just a very rural part . It's kinda cool because I have the benefits of the city, but where I live....it feels like Texas, haha!
