Just me and my piano, and my guitar(I love alternate tunings). Most of the time my friend Caitlin Evanson(who is also on myspace.com) plays violin and does some cool effects on it. Once in awhile I will have a band.
Influences
I have let my ears in on alot of different listening adventures. It doesn't matter what style(unless it's goove based, which gets firt dibs) as long as it moves me, and it's honest somehow. All the way from good pop music to the deep introspective type. They all have in some ways along my musical journey, inspired me to write songs, sing songs and listen more closley. Sorry, not many.... some of the artists include Mariah Carey(in her early days 'Vison Of Love.. Love it!), I absolutley love SEAL his musical textures are incredible, Ella Fitzgerald, Cindy Morgan, Sting, my sister Cami, Ben Folds and Ameil Larruix.
Currentley on my playlist(not including everything) I have:Annie Lennox, Estelle, Matt Moris, Lily Allen, Johny Lang, Jeff Buckley-Last Goodbye, Chaka Khan- You Got the Love, Mutemath- Stall Out, Van Hunt- Dust, Jamie Cullim- Get Your Way, Thicke- the whole record, Seal- Human Beings and Seal the V, The Cardigans- Country, Kings of Convienence-Misread, Corrine Bailey Rae- I'd Like to, Michael Jackson- Off the Wall, Imogen Heap- Closing in/Clear the Area, Thome York- The Eraser, Gnarles Barkley, Paul McCartney- Fine Line/Jenny Wrenn/Vanity Fair; James Morrison and much much moremore......

Throughout my life I have confused real truth and greatness with my own flawed perceptions. As a result, for much of my life I was a perfectionist-still am to a degree. Then, somewhere along the road between striving for perfection and settling for mediocrity, I tripped and fell across an invisible line. A voice inside whispered, “You’re going too far. Right here, in the middle is where you need to be.” As uncomfortable as it was to give up my striving, I chose to pause and embrace that mystery of a perfection I will never have…. at least no for now. So here is a piece of that “someone”, make of it what you will…. Missi (From the EP titled “ Someone I’ve Gotta Be”)
