Introduction What do I bring to the table? I play several instruments as well as write music and sing. I have a BA in Music and started off in music retail then into the recording studio as an engineer, working with artists, musicians and producers. I have performed as a singer/songwriter in Los Angeles and have cut 2 of my own indie CDs. My music has been licensed for television airplay and also received radio airplay (granted I'm much more popular in Europe than the US - remember David Hasselhoff?). I do not profess to be the world's greatest singer by any means, but I've had enough professional voice lessons from some of the top vocal coaches and have performed enough to know what I'm talking about most of the time.
Interests Reading, writing, music (voice, piano, guitar, songwriting), painting, card games, board games, word games, puzzles, travel, meeting new friends, animals (I've rescued quite a few), organic gardening, cooking, baking, movies, theater, musicals, parks, museums, educational tours, sightseeing, oh there's more, but most of all, sleeping (but I don't get nearly enough!).
