专辑简介

I started writing songs when I was 13. They weren't always very good songs, but even as a young child I've always had a strong desire to express myself through music. I learned to play the piano in grade school and picked up the guitar as a high school sophomore. I had classical vocal training and sang competitively throughout high school, both in a chorus and individually. I didn't start playing my original compositions to audiences until my mid-twenties, but since then I've performed as a solo folk singer-songwriter and also fronted a punk rock band.

Music is who I am. I need it like I need oxygen. Music is my therapy. Whatever I am feeling at a given time--anger, sadness, frustration, infatuation--it will consume me to the point of insanity until I can get it out into a song, and it's only at that point that I feel peace and release. My songs feel like photos in a scrapbook; every time I play one, I can remember what inspired it, where I was, and how I was feeling. By sharing my music, I am inviting you to accompany me on my journey through song.
