So, the more I surf the Myspace music pages, the more I see that this bio thing is necessary. Everyone's got a little something to say about themselves, only a few pioneers let the music speak solely for itself. And although I like to deem myself worthy of pioneer status at times, I'm not one who likes to be left out of things; i'm the baby of the family. So... my biography begins and ends in New York, Manhattan if we're being specific. And it consists of music, lot's of music, music from every angle of my life. Listening to my father play Chopin while I watched cartoons, or my Memom play Rhapsody in Blue while I lay on her fuzzy green rug. Hearing my mother make up a 7th harmony while singing along to Take6. Checking my sisters' tower of CD's for the next best thing and stealing They Might Be Giants "Flood" or anything by the Pixies or Tribe Called Quest. Then I picked up the Guitar...my outlet for the ecstacies of life. And thus far it's been a pretty illuminating life, full of highs and deep with lows; but the music always emparts it's justice on everything I think I already know about, leaving me with countless 3-5 minute windows into the life of yours truly, and fingers that are all cut up and somtimes bleed, if it's been a long hard jam.
