sometimes portland's bad weather helps. strong coffee does wonders.
he lives in Portland, Oregon and has for some time. he has a day job downtown, a house on the east side, a studio in the basement. he has a knack for penning inspired pop songs, the charm to be unassuming about it.
he has been doing this music thing for quite a while now. there was his stint on Geffen Records as the singer/songwriter-type in the late ‘90s. following that, he spent roughly five years heading up and down the west coast, playing shows, recording three albums with the Portland-based indie rock outfit the Bella Fayes. add to that another year or so for gathering his thoughts, writing and recording a new album on which he plays most every single instrument and pulling together a fine collection of local talent to back him up live, and you have the rough story up to the present.
somedays you have to wonder... (a bit shaky, but alright)

dear lael, i was wondering: is it possible to marry a song? i am in love with 'your cool'. thankyouthankyouthankyou for making it. :) i hope you are doing wonderful.
Thanks for the add. Hope to see you in the studio soon. On a side note, we've decided to share our hard earned cash. Every new client you recommend to Human studios that comes in for a session, you get 25% of that session price, up to $25. Easy cash just for referring fellow musicians to our studio. This offer is open to ANYONE. Payments are made in person or through paypal. Musicians wanting to record can stock up recording time instead of cash. Help a local studio get off the ground, and the owner no longer work in a call center.
