BANDCAMP SPOTIFY APPLE MUSIC the 'gram

welcome

I spent alot of time on the computer as a child and listened to a ton of pop music that was on the charts at the time. Sometimes before Mass I would listen to The American Top-40 Countdown on radio and was very mystified with the way songs seemed to come out of nowhere and either climb up the charts or fall the wayside (Today I get to work with artists professionally on the management/label side through my job. I really do love helping other artists share their music and connect with fans as corny as it sounds.) I also really enjoyed the occasional Beach Boys single and a little bit of what alternative stuff i could find on my dad's iPod Classic things like Sleigh Bells or M.I.A. and tons of the Ting Tings. They were my first favorite band actually. I was exposed to a lot of classic rock but wrote it all off as "old man music". I love the Rolling Stones tho.

I always seemed to be coming up with songs in my head but didn't have the vocabulary or the musicianship or technical training yet to put it to paper so the ideas would leave me as quickly as they came. Very Sad! I was given a Roland XP-10 Synthesizer for Christmas in the second grade. It's what I used to learn piano and is still featured on nearly every song I create today which I feel is really special. My first DAW was Sony Acid 11, i don't think they make it any more buti've been using Logic ever since I saved up to buy my first MacBook when I was like 15.

I create pop music that careens between the extremes of Hi-Fi and Lo-Fi Production techniques. I love fuzzy guitars. Some days I try and push the limits of software synthesis and vocal production to try and evoke emotions not typically associated with "computer music" whereas other days im singing through my macbook microphone and playing chords on a toy synthesizer from the 80s.

My primary influences today include Beach House, Early Best Coast, Chet Baker, AG Cook, and Alvvays.

I also try and write non-music every now and then either through casual journaling or essay writing. Hopefully I'll share some of that on here.
