I was born in Dearborn, MI. I graduated from Howell High School in Howell, MI. After that, I attended Michigan State University and graduated in 2008. During my stint at MSU, I played in a band calling themselves A Story Told. That band bottlenecked into a duo with an amazing man named Chris Dorman (he plays music, and he plays it well.) After parting ways, I made my way to Chicago, to be more specific Logan Square, where I have had my car keyed twice and my catalytic converter stolen once. All in all however, the move has definitely been for the better. 9-13-09 Addendum: I have moved once again within the property lines of Chicago to the Ukranian Village, it is very nice. My first album 'We Are Ghosts' will be out in October.
I really enjoy making music. Making the kind of music that gets me thinking. It is for the audience but at the same time, it is the most therapeutic process for the author.
The tracks are on this page were recorded and mixed by Alex Hug; Good Hertz Studio, Ann Arbor, MI.
Thanks a ton Steve! That's so great to hear that, because I'm still paying for it. I'm definitely down for setting up another show - are you headed to NY anytime soon?
Steven Leaf! I feel like we were already MySpace friends... did you get a new one? Also, are you still planning a tour with an Oklahoma date? I have some friends I can get you in contact with that can hopefully play with you/set something up since I'll be back up in Michigan for the fall. Really looking forward to the 18th!
