How long have you been playing?
I've been singing since day one! Then joining band in middle school, on saxophone; later I learned to play Clarinet. I stayed in it until about 10th grade when i changed schools; but, I didn't stop music! Even-though my new school didn't have a band they had an Orchestra, and a choir, which I joined. Up to this point I was taking violin lessons now I got to put them to good use. I was doing very well in orchestra playing the violin and piano when needed, and then i noticed our lack of cellos. I talked to the teacher and discovered that the violin and cello are the same things, for the most part. I was then the "go to" guy for the orchestra, playing piano, violin, saxophone, and clarinet.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
My first concert was.. oh god... I don't remember! I love concerts and go to so many little small ones, most of the time I don't even know the songs they are playing! I go for the love of music and to support my fellow artists.
But I will have to say one of my most memorable concerts was Emilie Autumn, she was sexy, loud, fun, dirty, burlesque, and god so much more! My favorite memory was her biting a cookie, then throwing it into the crowd, and it seemed to land perfectly in my hand, so i ate it! This was followed by her spitting water on the crowd!
One of the greatest things about it though is she reminded me of the Lady Gaga concert I attended the year before but because the venue was so small I felt more personal, which to me goes much further than their fame level!

Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
Tegan & Sara they have to be my biggest inspirations for life and music. I like, no love, them because of their outlook on life, just have fun & growing up sucks but don't let it get you down. Their music is very inspirational and hits every string in my heart. They're also twin lesbian sisters from Canada... so that's pretty cool too.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
Again Tegan & Sara 100%, but LIGHTS comes in at a close 2nd or even Utada (a Japanese singer I admire 101%) Y'know on second thought I would love to sing with Shakira, shes beautiful, funny, smart, and is a remarkable singer, performer, and woman!
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
I have actually performed on TV. I sung a Spanish duet with a close friend. It was amazing because not only did we have the camera on us we had a few hundred people watching and cheering along (including our high school Spanish teacher sitting in the front row.. on the grass!!!)!

this was fun, i did this song to work on music editing myself, you can hear the different layers (more in some parts, more in a bad way) but hey i'm learning, feel free to give feedback, this track is more of a powerful singing (kinda like a church choir) and a little less music. It's kind of a semi-upload i suppose I really want feedback on it!
p.s. get ready to hear my power sing!

I follow a lady named DonnaMarie McGeary on Twitter and I follow her cancer updates. One day she posted "Will someone sing to me? In a lot of pain & music, dulls pain & soothes the soul*". So I asked her favorite song and she told me Thank You by Led Zeppelin. I don't personally know her but I can see she has always been there for a lot of people, online and off. This is my little thank you to her.

my first trance song to release to the inter-web. This song will (98% sure) NOT be on the up-coming cd. That's why it's here :D
