I lived in an area where there were a lot of rock musicians, and we got together regularly in our studios.

Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention.

I was working at a non-profit for five years. But I could always create music after work. All throughout those years, I was writing songs and recording music and performing around town.

I've made three studio albums and one live one with my brother. It's melodic singer-songwriter acoustic-rock music.

Then l learned to play guitar and l started writing songs and my mother formed for me a publishing business, so we started publishing and managing artists.

I became interested in folk music because I had to make it somehow.

All along, I did what I was comfortable doing, which was to play the music I enjoyed and try to stretch the parameters a bit. Country and bluegrass and folk were my foundation.

My stuff was more of a folk coffeehouse thing, with more acoustic guitar, just me doing a single, and then adding on instruments and voices, with emphasis on lyrics and singing and light kind of acoustic jazz.

I played the guitar. When I was 14, I composed songs - Paul McCartney-style things. I had a rock band - we'd compete in festivals.
