I've always written pop songs. I tend to take inspiration from more experimental genres, like ambient music, but at the root of the song, it's verse-chorus-verse.
My songs tend to sprint toward some epiphany and then explode.
I didn't really know you could make a living in songwriting. I was just very fortunate to have the opportunity to play a few songs for a guy there named Jimmy Ritchey. Through that meeting, I met another couple guys and ended up getting a publishing deal in Nashville.
Songs of different moods are like keys, which help me enter the world of my book's characters.
The Smiths hasn't been equaled. That goes for the composition of the songs, the lyrics, and the performance.
