I'm currently in a band called 'The Eleventh Hour Initiative' with the very talented Emrys Hughes. We are just now recording our second album across the ocean.(I'm in New Jersey USA and he's in Plymouth, UK) You can hear our progress here:

Please stop by and let us know what you think so far!!!
I began my musical career as a solo artist signed to the now defunct Hawaii label FOS Records in Hilo Hawaii. Unfortunately the label was forced to close shop before my first solo album was released. Disappointed, I decided to try something new by forming The Singularities with Kent Green(Everybody's Problem, Crackton). The Singularities was more experimental and beat driven than my solo material and the album pushed both Kent and I into many interesting musical directions we hadn't previously explored. We released our self titled debut in 2009. 'The Singularities' went on to win awards from the independent site Garageband for Track of the Day in Alternative Pop, Best Programming in Alternative Pop, and Most Original in Alternative Pop, in March and May of 2009.
Stylistically, I draws from rock, indie, pop, punk, electronic, and experimental influences. It can be hard to categorize yourself but if I have to I'll say that my songs tend to be melody and hook driven. I use guitars and soft synths interchangeably depending on the direction of a track and that makes it hard for me to try and fit myself neatly into a genre. When you hear my songs I hope all of my descriptive gibberish makes more sense. Overall, I try really hard to keep my identity despite my varying tastes, and I hope that comes across.
To put it all simply, I love music. Love or hate my songs, I mean them all. I want to make songs that I mean something to me, and the hope is that if I can be true to that, then others just might dig them as well.
I appreciate all comments and constructive criticism and if you want me to check out your music feel free to ask...
