I started the music thing when I was nine years old, banging like a little "Mozart" on my mom's piano. After learning to play a few pop songs, I started "composing" myown songs. As a teenager, I was heavily influenced by avant garde, experimental, folk and classical music as well as new wave and punk rock. These musical styles, heavily influenced my future bands' styles; I dubbed this eclectic sound "Soulternative" music. I've composed about 400 songs, recently coming out with a critically acclaimed album called "Goddess"and has recently started the band Mein 66.
