ABOUT
I'm a music business graduate from Elmhurst College. I am classically trained and have been writing music since I was a little kid. I write mainly, acoustic, alternative and pop music. I have hundreds of finished songs and hundreds of unfinished ones too. I also perform with a professional jobbing band in the Chicagoland area. I've tried starting a band or project with people for a while now but it always seems to fall through. Hopefully I can find a band to join. Even musicians just to collaborate with. I'm thinking that I would be easier than the latter.

Fake It
Fake It Track number: 1 Year: 2011 Album: I dont have a name for this one yet Genre: Alternative
It's a very under produced demo. I'm taking out the speaking voice of the girl because it is just god awful. I want to change a lot, maybe make it electric guitar instead of acoustic. Maybe add a 2nd guitar... I am everything on this except the female singing of course. It'll be famous one day... I swear
