Well, obviously the dream would be a contract, but I'd be happy if someone else had a hit with one of my records.

I get all weird talking about me. I have been writing songs for quite a long time. I have fronted and was cheif songwriter for a couple of bands. But it wasn't until some personal tragedies forced me to leave my hometown and I started recodring as a solo artist that I really started gaining any attention. My "I Don't Need This in My Life" was actually a 'radio' hit in Austria. How, I don't know. Some DJ over there heard it on the Internet and I was contacted by his station manager to sign a release for them to be able to print the disc for their jocks to work into their rotation. I thought that was vey cool. Right around the same time, i did a self release of dark, ambient music that I recorded many years prior but had shelved when I was told there was no such market for what I had created. It was the first cd to be classified as Industrial/Classical. They year prior to its actual release, I had heard something close to it by a dude named Butt Boy. So, I figured what the Hell? i dusted off my eight year old recording and released and it did rather well. I pulled it from the market a year after the release due to not being happy with the final master. It is now being remastered to come as close to its original conception as possible.

Music, art, cars and making sure life is well lived.

Too hard of a question. Beatles rule. But I like and am influenced by almost everything. Among my biggest influences (musically) John Lennon, Alice Cooper, Roger Waters, Hazel O'Connor, Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Meat Loaf, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, Elton, Bowie, Three Dog Night, Thrre Days Grace, The Killers and Third Eye Blind.

The Exorcist, Evil Dead, Silent Hill, The Cell, ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (I hosted that for a short while), Fright Night I and II, Halloween, The Devils Rejects, The Rose.

The Simpsons, The Dresden Files, psych, Special Unit2, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, The Closer, Law & Order, Beavis & Butthead and The Masters of Horror series is absolutely brilliant.
